Services
Practical WHS compliance and psychosocial risk management for complex work environments. We help organisations meet their duty of care, build genuine safety culture, and protect their people.
Our WHS Capability
Workplace health and safety is more than a regulatory obligation — it is a direct reflection of how an organisation values its people. Organisations that treat WHS as a genuine strategic priority see fewer incidents, stronger workforce engagement, and lower long-term costs.
SHR Consultants brings practical WHS consulting capability to organisations operating in high-risk industries including construction, mining, manufacturing, marine, and offshore environments. We work with leaders and safety teams to build systems and culture that actually work on the ground.
Mark Hudston holds a Certificate IV in Workplace Health & Safety and brings decades of experience managing WHS obligations across complex, high-hazard workplaces.

What We Deliver
Review of your existing WHS management system against legislative requirements and industry best practice. We identify gaps, prioritise remediation, and provide a clear action plan.
Systematic identification and assessment of psychosocial hazards in your workplace — including workload, bullying, harassment, poor leadership, and trauma exposure — with practical control recommendations.
Development and review of WHS policies, safe work procedures, and management plans tailored to your operations — compliant with applicable state and federal legislation.
Training and support for health and safety representatives, supervisors, and managers — building the internal capability to identify hazards, manage risks, and fulfil their WHS obligations.
Assessment of your organisation's safety culture — identifying the leadership behaviours, workforce attitudes, and systemic factors that drive safety outcomes. Includes targeted improvement recommendations.
Expert support for workplace incident investigations — ensuring findings are thorough, defensible, and lead to genuine corrective actions rather than just paperwork.
Specialist Focus
Psychosocial hazards — the work-related factors that can cause psychological or physical harm — are now a primary focus of WHS regulators across Australia. Organisations that fail to identify and control these hazards face increasing regulatory exposure and significant workforce costs.
SHR Consultants has specialist capability in psychosocial hazard identification and management, including the design of control frameworks that address the root causes of psychological harm — not just the symptoms.
We work alongside HR and safety teams to ensure your approach to psychosocial risk is systematic, documented, and integrated with your broader WHS and ER frameworks.

Common Questions
Under the Work Health and Safety Act (and state equivalents), employers — as persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) — have a primary duty of care to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers and others. This includes providing safe systems of work, adequate information and training, and a safe physical and psychological work environment.
Yes. All Australian jurisdictions now require PCBUs to identify and manage psychosocial hazards under WHS legislation. Regulators are increasingly active in this space, and the consequences of failing to manage psychosocial risks — including workers compensation claims, regulatory action, and reputational damage — are significant.
A WHS management system audit reviews your existing policies, procedures, records, and practices against legislative requirements and recognised standards. The outcome is a gap analysis and prioritised action plan — giving you a clear picture of where your risk exposure lies and what needs to be done.
Yes. We frequently work alongside existing safety officers, HSRs, and HR teams — providing specialist knowledge, an independent perspective, or capacity for specific projects. We integrate with your team rather than replacing it.
