The Compliance Gap

The WHS Compliance Reality

Construction compliance is high-stakes, multi-site, and relentless. These are the gaps that lead to enforcement action.

SafeWork unannounced site inspection — SWMS not current

SafeWork NSW, SafeWork SA, and WorkSafe VIC conduct unannounced inspections. Outdated Safe Work Method Statements mean immediate prohibition notices.

Contractor inductions not verified — unqualified workers on site

Subcontractors arrive without valid inductions. Without a centralised register, principal contractors carry liability for unverified workers.

WHS incident not notified to SafeWork within 48 hours

Notifiable incidents must be reported to the WHS regulator immediately. Serious injuries and dangerous incidents have strict 48-hour preservation and notification windows.

Multi-site compliance impossible to track across projects

Principal contractors managing 5, 10, or 20 active sites cannot maintain compliance visibility with spreadsheets. Gaps emerge between projects unseen.

Subcontractor licence verification done manually

High-risk work licences, contractor licences, and insurance certificates expire without notice. Manual verification via spreadsheet is unreliable at scale.

WHS management system not documented to Code of Practice

SafeWork Australia Codes of Practice require documented WHS management systems. Without structured evidence, duty holders cannot demonstrate compliance.
