WHY WE DO
WHAT WE DO SAYS
A LOT ABOUT US
WE ALWAYS START WITH "WHY?"
We believe a safer tomorrow, starts with why. Today, we ask you better questions. Why? The more we learn about you and your work leads us to better outcomes.
SafetyCo isn’t a traditional PPE supply company, a safety supplier, nor are we a traditional occupational health services company. Workplace safety is at our core and in our name. Our fundamental belief is that it’s a universal right to feel and be safe at work. Providing safety and compliance is our only function.
That is why we never assume we know what you do. If your work involves mixing concrete, chances are you’ll know to wear a respirator. But is it the right respiratory protection for you? What are your hazards? Is it RCS (Respirable Crystalline Silica)? Is it asbestos? Do you currently have any contaminants that exceed the WES (Workplace Exposure Standard)? How long are you working for? How long is the job? Where is the work occurring? Are you really attached to your facial hair? Your responses to these questions could drastically affect which respirator is selected. And that’s only one element of PPE. Now scale this up across al the work sites across Australia. How many people aren’t being asked the right questions?
Whatever problem you have, we know there is a solution for your problem. But we never want to provide a solution that only solves part of the problem. You build our future, let us protect yours.
So what is our mission?
Put simply, our mission is to be not needed. Until that day comes, we’re here.
So how can we help?
SAFETY IN NUMBERS
According to data by SafeWork, 15% of all serious workplace safety injuries in Australia are due to inadequate PPE or PPE that isn’t fit for purpose.
20% of workplace fatalities in Australia are attributed to exposure to hazardous materials.
SafeWork places a conservative estimate of 2,800 workplace fatalities per year due to occupational hygiene related diseases.
100% of these incidents are preventable. It’s time to rethink our approach to safety. Think SafetyCo.
