Expert Health and Safety Consulting Services
What is SHEQ4SME?
SHEQ4SME helps small and medium-sized businesses stay legal, safe, and operational when it comes to health, safety, environmental, and quality compliance.
In simple terms, we make sure companies don’t get shut down, fined, or kicked off site because their health and safety are not in order.
Most businesses don’t fail because they don’t care about safety — they fail because compliance is confusing, time-consuming, and badly explained. That’s where we come in.
What we actually do (in real life)
We build, fix, and manage health and safety systems for businesses that don’t have the time, staff, or expertise to do it themselves.
That includes:
(a) Health & Safety audits
(b) Safety files for construction and operational sites
(c) OHS Act compliance
(d) ISO-aligned systems (9001, 14001, 45001, etc.)
(e) Ongoing monthly health & safety management
We don’t just hand over documents and disappear. We stay involved and make sure the system actually works on site.
How we’re different
Most safety companies sell paperwork.
We build working systems.
Our core offering is a Health & Safety Management System that is:
- Practical
- Audit-ready
- Built around how the business actually operates
- Continuously maintained, not forgotten on a shelf
Our systems have been audited by large organisations and third parties, with consistently high audit outcomes — and we’ve never had a client fail an audit because of our system.
How we work
We’re hands-on, direct, and honest.
- We explain things in plain English
- We don’t overcomplicate compliance
- We respond fast
- We take responsibility for what we deliver
Whether it’s a one-time audit or a long-term monthly arrangement, our goal is the same: to keep your business compliant and running smoothly.
Why SHEQ4SME exists
Many small and medium businesses are treated unfairly by:
- Overpriced consultants
- Generic templates that don’t pass audits
- Safety files that look good but fail on site
SHEQ4SME was built to give SMEs the same level of compliance support that large companies get — without the corporate nonsense.
SHEQ4SME helps businesses stay compliant, audit-ready and operational by managing health, safety, environmental and quality systems properly — not just selling paperwork.
