Trade Safety Reviews — Australia

Your licence covers your craft.
What covers your business?

Reviewed and signed off by a qualified WHS professional — not a template, not a chatbot. Most small trade businesses don't know their top WHS gaps until a regulator, insurer, or incident forces the question. We find them first — and tell you exactly what to fix.

The Problem

What small trade businesses get wrong — and why it matters

01

Generic templates that don't apply

Most WHS documents for trade businesses are built for offices or retail. They miss the hazards that actually matter for licensed, hands-on trade work.

02

You don't know what you don't have

Compliance gaps are invisible until they're not. A missing SWMS, an out-of-date licence check, or an untagged lead is a significant fine waiting to happen.

03

No time to figure it out yourself

You're running jobs, managing apprentices, chasing invoices. Nobody has spare hours to read the WHS Regulations. That's exactly what makes this a problem.

The Solution

A trade safety review built for the way you actually work

We review your existing safety setup against trade-specific obligations — not a generic checklist. You get a clear gap report and a prioritised action list. No fluff, no jargon, no hours lost to reading legislation yourself.

Step 1
01

You share what you have

Send us your existing safety documents, licence records, and a short voice note about how your work is set up. Async — no site visit required.

Step 2
02

We review it against your trade

We assess your documentation against the WHS obligations specific to your trade — including SWMS requirements, test & tag, PPE, working-at-heights, confined spaces, and more.

Step 3
03

You receive your gap report

A plain-English report identifying your top WHS gaps and a prioritised action list — delivered within 5 business days.

Who This Is For

Built for licensed trade businesses ready to grow

Whatever your trade — electrical, plumbing, building, gas, HVAC, or anything else that requires a licence — if you run a growing business with people working under you, this review is built for you.

This review is for you if:

  • You have apprentices, employees, or subcontractors working under your licence
  • You are tendering for larger contracts and need your safety house in order
  • Your documents have not been formally reviewed in the last 12 months
  • You are not sure what your legal WHS obligations actually are
  • You would rather find out your gaps now than after a regulator, insurer, or incident forces the question
This is not for everyone. If your business already has a dedicated WHS manager, a current safety system in place, and regular third-party audits — you are already covered. This review is designed for businesses that have been operating on instinct, goodwill, and a folder of documents they have not looked at in two years.
What You Receive

A qualified person reviews your business — and puts their name to the result

Your gap report isn't auto-generated. A competent WHS professional reviews your specific operation, identifies your top legal risks, and signs off on the findings. It tells you what you have, what you're missing, and what to fix first — in plain English. No 40-page manual. A practical document you'll actually use, and one you can stand behind if a regulator or insurer asks.

Where it leads: the review finds your gaps → a trade-specific Safety Pack fixes them → Cornerstone Cover keeps you compliant as your business changes.

Why not just use AI?

A chatbot can draft a document. It can't be accountable for it.

AI tools will happily produce a generic safety policy in seconds. The problem is what happens next: a regulator, insurer, or incident investigator doesn't want a document — they want evidence that a competent person reviewed your actual business and stood behind the result.

That's what you're buying here. Not pages of text you could generate yourself, but a qualified review, trade-specific judgement, and a name on the findings. The accountability is the product.

About

Alisa Cooper

Founder, Cornerstone Works

I have spent over 20 years working in health and safety across some of Australia's and the UK's most demanding industries — from hospitals and rail to petroleum and manufacturing. I have seen what good safety looks like. And I have seen what happens when small businesses are left to figure it out alone.

Small trade businesses are often held to the same compliance standards as large corporations, but without the dedicated safety team, the resources, or the time to wade through legislation. I have watched too many hardworking business owners get caught out — not because they did not care about safety, but because no one gave them the right tools in plain language. I built Cornerstone Works to change that.

Every review and document here is built from real-world experience — not copied from a textbook or generated by a template machine. It reflects actual Australian WHS law, real site requirements, and the practical realities of running a trade business day to day.
