Expert Support to Achieve OFSC Accreditation
Accreditation under the Australian Government Work Health and Safety (WHS) Accreditation Scheme is a critical milestone for Principal Contractors aiming to work on Commonwealth-funded building projects. Our services help your business develop and implement a Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS) that meets the requirements of the WHS Accreditation Scheme and ensures compliance with the highest safety standards.
With our guidance, your organisation can confidently navigate the accreditation process and demonstrate your commitment to safety, opening the door to greater business opportunities.
What is the WHS Accreditation Scheme?
The Australian Government WHS Accreditation Scheme, administered by the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner (OFSC), sets a benchmark for WHS performance in the building and construction industry. Accreditation is mandatory for companies wishing to undertake Commonwealth-funded projects valued at $4 million or more.
Accreditation shows that your business:
- Meets or exceeds WHS best practice standards.
- Actively promotes a culture of safety and continuous improvement.
- Reduces risks for workers and stakeholders through robust systems and procedures.
