Comprehensive WHS & HSSE Solutions for High-Risk Industries
Real Time Risk provides professional WHS and HSSE services for organisations operating in high-risk and heavily regulated environments.
Our services support operational delivery, regulatory compliance and governance assurance across projects and business-as-usual operations. Engagements are tailored to the size, risk profile and maturity of each organisation.
WHS and HSSE Consulting
What this service is
We provide senior-level WHS and HSSE consulting to support organisations in managing health, safety and environmental risks in complex operating environments.
Consulting support is focused on practical decision making, regulatory alignment and operational risk control, rather than generic advice or theoretical models.
Typical inclusions
- WHS and HSSE advisory support to business owners, leaders and project teams
- Regulatory and legislative interpretation and guidance
- Support during operational change, risk escalation or project mobilisation
- Independent advice during critical planning and delivery phases
Practical Safety Systems
What this service is
We design, review and implement WHS and HSSE management systems that reflect how work is actually planned, managed and performed.
Systems are aligned with applicable legislation and recognised standards, including ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 where relevant, and structured to support real operational conditions.
Typical inclusions
- WHS and HSSE management system frameworks and manuals
- Risk management and control verification processes
- Emergency response and incident management arrangements
- Permit to work and isolation management systems
- High-risk operational procedures for construction, marine and industrial activities
Audits and Gap Analysis
What this service is
We conduct structured audits and gap analysis to assess alignment between documented systems, operational practices and regulatory or contractual requirements.
Audits are focused on the effectiveness of risk controls and evidence of implementation, not simply the presence of documentation.
We recognise that many organisations are hesitant about traditional audit approaches that involve an external auditor arriving on site. This hesitation is common and often driven by concerns about disruption, perceived judgement, cost, or uncertainty about outcomes.
In response, Real Time Risk has developed a practical audit model that prioritises clarity, efficiency and business ownership while maintaining independence and professional rigour.
Where appropriate, audits can be undertaken through a structured, guided evidence-based process. Clients are supported to collate relevant evidence internally, including documents, records, photographs and short operational videos, which are reviewed remotely by Real Time Risk.
This approach:
- Reduces disruption to operations
- Minimises cost compared to extended site-based audits
- Encourages internal understanding and ownership of systems
- Removes unnecessary pressure on frontline personnel
Where higher-risk findings, regulatory sensitivity or operational complexity is identified, targeted follow-up discussions can be conducted with key personnel via structured online sessions. Site-based support is reserved for situations where it is genuinely required.
Typical inclusions
- WHS and HSSE system audits
- Site and operational inspections where required
- ISO 45001 aligned gap analysis
- Principal contractor and client compliance reviews
- Evidence-based assessment using documents, records, images and video
- Corrective action planning and improvement tracking
Governance and Assurance
What this service is
We support organisations to strengthen governance, accountability and assurance so leaders can demonstrate due diligence and effective control of safety and compliance risks.
Governance and assurance frameworks are developed specifically for each client and informed by experience across multiple high-risk and regulated industry sectors.
Recognising that many organisations struggle to objectively assess the effectiveness of their governance arrangements, Real Time Risk is developing a structured governance assessment approach to support leadership teams in understanding how safety and risk management is actually functioning within their organisation.
This approach is designed to move beyond policy statements and reporting metrics by examining:
- Clarity of roles, responsibilities and decision-making authority
- How risk information flows from operations to leadership
- The effectiveness of assurance and verification activities
- Whether governance arrangements support real operational control
The assessment process provides leaders with a clear, evidence-based view of governance maturity, enabling informed decisions, targeted improvements and defensible assurance outcomes.
Typical inclusions
- Governance framework and accountability reviews
- System and process reviews that test how arrangements operate in practice
- Assurance plans, schedules and verification models
- Leadership and duty holder support
- Improvement planning and close-out verification
- Structured governance assessment and maturity reviews
- Management review inputs and improvement tracking
Operational and Project Support
What this service is
We provide practical WHS and HSSE advisory support during planning, mobilisation and execution of high-risk projects, ensuring safety and compliance requirements are integrated into operational decision making and delivery.
Support is focused on helping organisations prepare for work, verify readiness, and manage risk during live operations, particularly where multiple contractors, interfaces or high-consequence activities are involved.
Our role is advisory and assurance based, supporting project teams, supervisors and leaders to identify gaps early, clarify requirements, and apply controls before work is undertaken.
Typical inclusions
- Project and mobilisation readiness reviews to confirm WHS and HSSE arrangements are in place prior to commencement
- Review of tender, prequalification and contractor safety submissions from a risk and compliance perspective
- Development or review of project safety plans, construction safety management plans and interface arrangements
- Advisory support on high-risk work planning, including permits, isolations and critical risk controls
- Compliance readiness and assurance support during critical project phases
- Site-based or remote advisory support to assist project teams and supervisors during execution
- Interface risk management and coordination across contractors, work fronts and operating environments
Marine and Offshore Compliance Support
What this service is
We provide specialist WHS and HSSE support for marine, offshore and coastal operations where the work platform, access arrangements, emergency response capability and interface risks are critical to safe delivery.
Support is focused on activities undertaken in high-consequence environments, including offshore energy, marine construction and defence-related maritime operations, where regulatory compliance, assurance and operational discipline are subject to heightened scrutiny.
Services are tailored to the specific risks, operational constraints and compliance expectations of marine and offshore environments, including live facilities, vessel-based works and complex interface conditions.
Typical inclusions
- Development, review and implementation of marine and offshore safety management systems aligned to regulatory and client assurance expectations
- Emergency response planning and incident management arrangements specific to vessel-based, offshore and remote operations
- Personnel transfer, access and egress procedures, including workboat, vessel and offshore access activities
- Permit to work and high-risk activity controls for marine and offshore tasks
- SIMOPS and interface risk management across vessels, contractors and operating authorities
- Vessel, barge and marine asset compliance and readiness reviews
- Contractor safety requirements and interface coordination for multi-party marine operations
- Pre-mobilisation readiness and assurance reviews for offshore energy, marine construction and defence-related works
Contractor and Project Safety Systems
What this service is
We develop practical contractor and project safety systems that clearly define safety expectations, roles, responsibilities and verification requirements across the full lifecycle of work.
Systems are designed to be applied by supervisors and project teams in real operating conditions, while remaining defensible under audit, client assurance and regulatory scrutiny.
This service supports organisations managing multiple contractors, complex interfaces and high-risk activities where clear control and accountability are essential.
Typical inclusions
- Contractor prequalification and onboarding frameworks aligned to risk and project requirements
- Review and development of contractor safety management arrangements
- Project safety plans, construction safety management plans and mobilisation packs
- Interface risk management and coordination arrangements across work fronts
- Inspection, verification and assurance schedules linked to critical risk controls
- Contractor performance monitoring, review and continuous improvement processes
Digital Compliance Library
What this service is
We provide access to a digital library of WHS compliance documents and tools to support organisations requiring structured resources as part of a broader safety system.
These resources are delivered through DigitalWHS, the digital compliance arm of Real Time Risk, and are developed using the same principles applied in our consulting work.
DigitalWHS resources are designed to support consistency, clarity and baseline compliance, particularly for organisations seeking structured documentation without immediate full consulting engagement.
Important note
Digital compliance resources are not a substitute for professional advice in complex or high-risk environments and should be implemented with appropriate leadership oversight, training and verification.
Where higher-risk activities, regulatory sensitivity or operational complexity exist, consulting and advisory support is recommended.
How We Engage
Engagements typically begin with a discussion to understand the organisation, its operations, risks and objectives.
From there, we provide clear advice and structured support aligned to real operational needs, whether through consulting, assurance, system development or access to compliance resources.
