MANUFACTURING
Safety software that fits a production floor.
Manufacturing safety lives around machines, maintenance and shift work. WHS One keeps plant records, pre-starts, risks, incidents and training in one connected system, set up around your lines, cells and equipment before your team starts using it.
Plant, machinery and pre-start checks
Every press, saw, conveyor, compressor and forklift can be held as its own record, with the checks that belong to it. Operators open the correct pre-start on a phone at the machine, and the completed check is saved against that item of plant rather than on a pad in the office.
Because the checks are scheduled, an overdue pre-start stays visible instead of quietly passing by.
Risks that match the work
- Risk registers built around real tasks such as machine guarding, isolation, manual handling, noise, hot work and chemical use.
- Controls recorded against the risk, so supervisors can see what is meant to be in place.
- Reviews scheduled rather than remembered, with the next review date visible.
- New equipment or a changed process can be added without rebuilding the register.
Incidents, hazards and follow up actions
A near miss on night shift is only useful if it reaches someone and produces a change. Reports can be raised from the floor, and each one can carry actions with an owner and a due date so the follow up is tracked to completion rather than discussed once.
Open actions sit alongside overdue checks in the same view, so the next thing needing attention is obvious.
Training, licences and inductions
- Hold tickets and licences such as forklift, EWP, first aid and high risk work in one register.
- See expiries before they lapse rather than at the moment somebody is rostered on.
- Record inductions for new starters, labour hire and shift transfers.
- Keep the evidence attached to the person, not spread across email and filing cabinets.
Inspections and document control
Site and area inspections run to a schedule, and the results are recorded in the same system as the risks and actions they relate to. Policies, procedures and safe work method statements are version controlled, so the floor is working from the current copy and the superseded document is not still pinned to a wall.
Practical use on the floor
A QR code placed on plant or at a work area opens the right check on a mobile device. The work is done where it happens, and the record is saved directly to WHS One. There is no walk back to the office and no chasing paper at the end of a shift.
Warehousing and distribution operations use the same approach. You can read the warehousing page for that view.
An honest note on compliance
WHS One organises and operates your safety system. It does not determine legal compliance, it does not certify your operation, and it does not replace advice from an appropriately qualified professional or your regulator. What it does is make the state of your safety system visible and workable day to day.
Built around your plant, your lines and your shifts.
