About Work Safety QLD
Safety paperwork, written by someone who's actually been on site.
Work Safety QLD is a privately owned Brisbane business. Since 2021 we've helped almost 3,000 customers get the WHS documents they need, without paying consultant rates or waiting weeks.
Our story
Built from 16 years of writing SWMS on real jobs
Most small businesses don't need a consultant. They need a solid, practical document they can make their own.
Ryan Graham has worked in Queensland construction as a Work Health & Safety Officer for 16 years. Over that time he's written thousands of Safe Work Method Statements, site safety management plans and safety management systems for businesses and trades of every size.
Work Safety QLD started in 2021 to make that knowledge easy to reach: free guides and templates first, then a store of practical, plain-English documents any Queensland business can download, brand and use the same day.
