A new digital safety platform enters WA

A next-generation digital compliance platform has launched to address one of Australia’s most pressing workplace challenges and redefine how mining, construction, and other high-risk industries manage Work Health and Safety (WHS) obligations. 

SafetyComply addresses key points faced by safety professionals and is continuously updated to reflect the latest version of the WHS Mines and WHS General regulations in Western Australia. 

Users can search and locate relevant regulations, definitions, and schedules using smart tools, instead of searching through outdated PDF files and spreadsheets. 

The platform also enables multi-site teams – from site leaders to safety professionals – to work within a centralised system. Real-time sharing of audit data promotes transparency and ensures all users are operating from the same, current information. 

Alan Tait, developer of the platform and founder of Taits Consulting, says SafetyComply was developed to bring clarity, speed, and control to the compliance process. 

“After decades managing safety in high-risk environments, I’ve seen firsthand how outdated systems put lives and businesses at risk,” Tait says. 

As of 24 July 2025, there have been two fatalities within the mining sector, as reported by Safe Work Australia. In 2024, 11 workers had died in the sector. 

Australia’s transport, postal, and warehousing industry has recorded the most workplace deaths, recording 29 this year in comparison to 54 in 2024. 

SafetyComply is a cloud-based WHS regulation platform built for high-risk environments.
