Workplace Risk Assessment in Sydney
Comprehensive safety assessment and hazard identification across Sydney. Identify workplace hazards, evaluate risks, and implement effective controls to meet your WHS compliance obligations and protect your workforce.
Proactive Hazard Identification and Risk Evaluation
Under WHS legislation, every business has a legal obligation to conduct hazard identification, assess risks, and implement appropriate controls to protect workers. A thorough workplace risk assessment is the foundation of any effective health and safety program. It allows you to understand where your greatest risks lie and take action before injuries occur — rather than reacting after the fact.
Our safety assessments are conducted on-site by an AHPRA-registered physiotherapist with broad occupational health expertise. We walk through your workplace, observe tasks in real time, speak with workers, and systematically perform risk evaluation — covering manual handling, posture, repetitive movements, noise, environmental conditions, slips and trips, working at heights, and psychosocial factors. Each hazard is rated using a standardised risk matrix, and we provide practical, prioritised recommendations for control measures to support your WHS compliance.
You receive a detailed written report that serves as documented evidence of your compliance efforts. This report can be used for internal audits, insurer reviews, and regulatory inspections. Whether you are responding to an incident, preparing for a tender, or proactively improving your safety systems, our risk assessment service gives you the clarity and documentation you need.

Industries We Serve
How It Works
You brief us on your workplace
Share your site details, the areas or tasks you want assessed, and any existing safety documentation or incident history. This helps us scope the assessment and focus on the areas of greatest concern. We can assess a single department, a specific process, or your entire workplace.
On-site walkthrough and observation
Our AHPRA-registered physiotherapist conducts a thorough walkthrough of your workplace, observing tasks, workflows, and environmental conditions as they happen. We speak with workers and supervisors to understand the practical realities of each role. This on-site approach captures hazards that may not be visible in documentation alone.
Hazard identification and risk rating
Each identified hazard is rated using a standardised risk matrix based on likelihood and consequence. This produces a prioritised risk register that shows you exactly where your greatest risks are and which ones need immediate attention versus longer-term action. Photographic documentation is included for each hazard.
Report with control recommendations
You receive a detailed written report including all identified hazards, risk ratings, photographs, and practical control recommendations following the hierarchy of controls. This report serves as documented evidence of your WHS compliance efforts and provides a clear action plan. We can also recommend complementary services such as manual handling training or ergonomic assessments where appropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a workplace risk assessment?
A workplace risk assessment is a systematic process of identifying hazards in your work environment, evaluating the level of risk each hazard presents, and recommending control measures to reduce or eliminate those risks. It is a fundamental requirement under WHS legislation and provides documented evidence that your organisation is actively managing workplace safety.
How often should a risk assessment be conducted?
There is no single mandated frequency, but risk assessments should be reviewed regularly and updated whenever there are changes to your workplace, tasks, equipment, or workforce. They should also be conducted after any workplace incident or near-miss. As a general guide, annual reviews are a common practice, with additional assessments triggered by significant changes to operations.
Who conducts the risk assessment?
Our risk assessments are conducted by an AHPRA-registered physiotherapist with expertise in occupational health and workplace safety. This clinical background is important because many workplace hazards - particularly those related to manual handling, posture, and repetitive movements - require an understanding of biomechanics and injury mechanisms to identify and assess accurately.
What is included in the risk assessment report?
The report includes a complete list of identified hazards, each rated using a standardised likelihood and consequence risk matrix. It contains photographic documentation, a description of each hazard and its potential impact, and practical control recommendations prioritised by risk level. The report follows the hierarchy of controls framework and serves as compliance documentation for audits and insurer reviews.
