Know where your site stands.Fix it. Keep it fixed.

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.

The Ardmor Hub client portal dashboard: live compliance health score, action items and registers

The Ardmor Hub. A real screen, with demo data.

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

Your business runs on people. Your safety system should not depend on them being in.

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.

  • Procedures in people's heads

    Verbal training, and a slightly different method depending on who is on shift.

  • Records in a dozen places

    Paper forms, spreadsheets and inboxes, in whichever version was saved last.

  • Maintenance after the breakdown

    Servicing happens when something stops, rather than when it is due.

How it works

Three steps, one system, and a team that knows a factory floor

  1. Step 01

    Assess

    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 assessment
  2. Step 02

    Fix

    Work 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 Hub
  3. Step 03

    Keep it current

    The 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.

The Ardmor Hub

Safety, compliance and maintenance in one live system

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.

  • Registers

    Employees, equipment, chemicals and contractors, with tickets and licence expiries on every worker.

  • Inspections and permits

    Digital inspections, permits to work, JSEAs and SWMS. Issued, signed on and closed out.

  • Incidents and injuries

    QR hazard reporting with no login, and injury case management from first aid to return to work.

  • Procedures

    Film the job and get the SOP. Ardmor asks about what a safe procedure needs that nobody said.

  • Maintenance

    Work orders, preventive maintenance schedules and parts, on the Operations plan.

  • Compliance calendar

    Servicing, training and certificate due dates in one place, so nothing slips.

Don’t take our word for it

Read something we wrote before you talk to us

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

Questions people actually ask

How much does the site assessment cost?

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.

Do I have to subscribe after the assessment?

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.

How long does the site assessment take?

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.

What industries do you work with?

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.

What is included in the Hub subscription?

Free ($0, no card, no trial clock): QR hazard and incident reporting for unlimited workers, your full employee register, routine check forms, printable permit and JSEA forms in your own name, the first-aid assistant, stock take, 10 Ask Ardmor questions a month, and 3 SOPs a month, made by filming the job or describing it. Safety ($249/mo) adds a health score and action items, guided close-outs with compliance documents drafted for you, the risk register, JSEAs and SWMS, digital inspections with photo audit, permits to work, injury case management, training records and a competency matrix, contractor management and site sign-in, an emergency site map with expert gap review, tickets and licence expiry on every worker, equipment, chemical and SDS registers, a document library, the compliance calendar, and your own branded portal and worker app. Operations ($399/mo) adds the full maintenance system (work orders, preventive maintenance schedules and parts) plus reliability and cost reporting, the Daily Ops Run, Ardmor Manager and a derived matrices hub. Managed Safety ($2,400/mo, all in) has our team run your safety and compliance for you, with the Operations plan included. All plans are a flat price per site, with unlimited workers.

What do I actually see when I log in?

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.

How does the free SOP generator work?

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.

I'm outside Australia. Can I use the Hub?

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.

See exactly where your site stands.

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.
