What is a site risk assessment?
A site risk assessment is a full audit of how hazardous substances, including dangerous goods, are managed on your site. We check your operation against the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017 and relevant standards, then show you exactly where the gaps are and how to fix them.
What does the assessment cover?
We can assess your whole site or focus on specific areas of concern, including:
- Hazardous substance inventory and SDS management
- Hazchem storage and secondary containment
- Hazchem signage
- Hazchem PPE
- Spill response and emergency equipment
- Stormwater protection
- Staff training
What’s the process?
- Discuss your scope. Call or email us to talk through your site and any specific concerns.
- Book your visit. We’ll confirm what the assessment will and won’t cover, then arrange a time.
- Site visit. A pH7 specialist walks through your site with a member of your team.
- Receive your report. We compile a zone by zone report covering the risks identified, how they relate to the regulations and standards, and a prioritised action plan. Compliance steps come first, followed by best practice recommendations.
- Find the right solutions. We’ll point you to a supplier who can provide the products you need.
What do I need to provide?
- A copy of your hazardous substance inventory
- Safety data sheets (SDS) for the substances on site
- A staff member to show us around on the day
What will I receive?
You’ll receive a written site risk assessment report, organised zone by zone. It includes photos, identified risks, the regulations or standards they relate to, and practical recommendations to reduce or remove each risk.
How much does a site risk assessment cost?
A site risk assessment costs $1,000 for a 2 hour onsite audit, plus $150 for each additional hour. Larger or more complex sites may need more time, and we’ll give you an estimate upfront once we understand your site. Prices are RRP and exclude GST.
Is a site risk assessment the same as compliance certification?
No. Only a compliance certifier authorised by WorkSafe can issue compliance certificates for your site, stationary tanks or certified handlers.
A site risk assessment is the step before. It identifies and helps you fix issues ahead of time, so your certification visit is quicker and smoother. Most businesses find it better value than paying a compliance certifier to work through problems on site.
