The requirements to meet individual state and federal Codes and Australian Standard requirements are becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with. OHS solutions recognises this and is dedicated to keeping abreast of all current requirements. Being a service based business we can provide inspections of your buildings essential services and prepare a compliance report. In addition we have implemented programs to maintain your sites compliance by providing the appropriate documentation required to meet your statutory requirements.

Non-compliance may result in a fine of up to $10,000 for individuals or $50,000 for companies. More importantly, non-compliance could place not only building occupants lives at risk, but also those of passers-by and the occupants of adjoining buildings.

Adequate maintenance is the best means of ensuring that safety systems will operate reliably if an emergency arises.

Don’t get caught out by having the wrong compliance documentation or, worse still, no documentation on site. Let OHS Solutions take care of your compliance needs today.
