Painless Compliance.
Running a business is enough work
Running a business is enough work without worrying about OHS compliance.
You’d never run your business without someone keeping the books in order. So who is keeping your health and safety in order? OHS Navigator is your OHS compliance partner: we take the whole job of health and safety compliance off your plate, the way a CFO or an accountant does for your finances. You focus on your business, we take the stress of compliance away.
Everything OHS Navigator includes
Most businesses juggle several suppliers to stay compliant: one for training, one for the safety file, one for extinguishers, another for first aid boxes. With OHS Navigator it’s one partner and one monthly fee.
Your safety file and system
- Health and safety file compiled, implemented and kept current. See Health & Safety Files.
- OHS system, policies and procedures set up for the way your business works
- Risk assessments (HIRA): a baseline assessment, then kept up to date
- Legal appointment letters for the people the OHS Act requires you to appoint
- OHS checklists your team can use every day
Training for your team
- Training places every year: First Aid, Basic Fire Fighting and SHE Rep training, matched to what your workplace legally needs. See all our courses.
- SHE committee set up, with minutes kept
Equipment and emergencies
- Fire extinguishers serviced and refilled
- First aid boxes replenished
- Safety signage where it’s missing
- Evacuation drills, with a report on how it went
Ongoing compliance
- A site visit every 3 months, with a site observation report
- Safety audits with reports and compliance certificates. See Safety Audits.
- Incident and accident investigations when something happens
- An annual compliance review
- One call for compliance help whenever you have a question
- Department of Employment and Labour inspection support
- A digital copy of all your records, so nothing gets lost
- Occupational medicals, arranged if your workplace requires them
How it works
OHS Navigator gets your business ready for an inspector in about 90 days, then keeps it there.
1. Identify
We visit your site, do a risk assessment and find the gaps. Each gap is linked to the part of the OHS Act it falls under, so you know exactly what needs fixing and why. Your legal appointments are done and your digital records are set up in the first 30 days.
2. Implement
We put the plan in place: extinguishers serviced, signage up, first aid boxes stocked, the first training done, the SHE committee running and an evacuation drill held. By day 90 your business is ready for an inspector.
3. Sustain
We keep it that way. A site visit every 3 months, reports after every visit, investigations when something happens, training as staff change, and support when the Department of Labour inspects.
The inspector is at reception
Picture it: a Department of Labour inspector walks in, unannounced. Is your health and safety file up to date? Are your training records current? When was your last audit?
With OHS Navigator, those questions are already answered. Your team knows what to do: ask for the inspector’s ID, call us, and have the safety file ready. We help you through the visit, and if the inspector issues a notice, we draft the response and the corrective action plan with you.
Who is OHS Navigator for?
- Business owners and managers who would rather hand health and safety to someone who does it every day
- Small businesses, growing companies and larger sites: offices and retail, warehousing, workshops and manufacturing. The package is built around your size and risk.
- Companies without a full-time safety officer. Not sure what a safety officer does, or how the role differs from a SHE rep? Read Safety Officer Requirements and the Key Differences of a SHE Rep.
- Businesses that already use several suppliers for training, audits, files and equipment, and want one partner instead
