Workplace safety · Victorian manufacturing
Ardmor walks your floor, scores it against Victoria’s Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, and gives you one system to close the gaps. Your team can run it, or ours can run it for you.
Written for the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic) and the OHS Regulations 2017. Victoria never adopted the model WHS laws, so a template written for them names the wrong Act. Ours are written for Victoria.
Why it matters
When experienced people take leave, retire or move on, the know-how goes with them. None of this means the business is badly run. It means the system lives in people rather than on paper.
Verbal training, and a slightly different method depending on who is on shift.
Paper forms, spreadsheets and inboxes, in whichever version was saved last.
Servicing happens when something stops, rather than when it is due.
How it works
We walk your floor with you for about an hour, across 8 operational categories. Within 24 hours you have a written report: a compliance health score and a fix-list in priority order.
Book the assessmentWork the list in the Ardmor Hub. Registers, procedures, inspections and permits sit in one place, with the compliance documents drafted for you to check and issue.
See the HubThe Hub keeps track of what is due, what is overdue and what changed on the floor. Run it yourself, or have our team run it for you and be on your floor 5 times a year.

Every register, inspection, permit and work order in one place, with a compliance health score that moves when the floor does. A flat price per site, however many workers you put on it.
Employees, equipment, chemicals and contractors, with tickets and licence expiries on every worker.
Digital inspections, permits to work, JSEAs and SWMS. Issued, signed on and closed out.
QR hazard reporting with no login, and injury case management from first aid to return to work.
Film the job and get the SOP. Ardmor asks about what a safe procedure needs that nobody said.
Work orders, preventive maintenance schedules and parts, on the Operations plan.
Servicing, training and certificate due dates in one place, so nothing slips.

Don’t take our word for it
We are new, and we would rather you checked the work than trusted a quote. Our JSEA template and hot work permit are the same documents the Hub prints, written to the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004. Both are free, with no email. If they are not better than what is on your wall, nothing else we say matters.
Common questions
Nothing right now. The full written assessment normally costs $1,800, and it is complimentary for manufacturers across Melbourne while we're onboarding our first sites. There is no cost, no obligation and nothing to sign. When the fee applies again, it is credited in full against your subscription if you subscribe within 90 days of your report.
No. The site assessment stands on its own and, while we're onboarding our first sites, it costs you nothing. Many businesses simply take the report and use it to prioritise their own fixes. That is a perfectly good outcome, and we would rather you had it than not.
About an hour on site. We use our own assessment app across 8 operational categories, and a professional report in PDF arrives within 24 hours of the visit.
Food and beverage, metal fabrication, plastics and injection moulding, timber and furniture, and printing and signage. Our founder has 10+ years of hands-on floor experience in Victorian manufacturing.

Your own Hub, live on any phone or laptop. It shows your compliance health score, what needs doing and by when, your registers and document library, and your improvement roadmap, all written for the OHS Act 2004 and WorkSafe Victoria.
A supervisor or manager films the job on their phone and talks it through, tapping once at the end of each step to keep a picture and the words. Before anything is written, the steps are checked against seven essentials: who can do it, PPE, checks before starting, isolation, what can hurt you, what to do if something goes wrong, and finishing the job. Anything missing comes back as a question. "Not sure" leaves a marked blank to confirm before issue, never a guess. A manager with admin rights then approves and issues the SOP, and can print it or download it as PDF or Word. 3 a month on the free plan, no card.
Yes. The self-serve Hub works worldwide. Sign up free, pick your country during setup, and the Hub adapts: documents reference your local workplace-safety framework rather than Australian law, and safety guidance uses your local emergency number. Prices are in AUD, billed through Stripe, which handles the currency conversion. On-site services (assessments and Managed Safety) are currently available in Victoria, Australia.
About an hour on your floor and a written report within 24 hours. Free for manufacturers across Melbourne, while we're onboarding our first sites. Nothing to pay, nothing to sign.
