I write every guide on this site. They come out of the same place the advice does — walking factory floors in Melbourne's northern suburbs, sitting in on incident reviews, and reading the parts of the OHS Act most people never open.

How these guides are written

Every factual, legal or statistical claim on this blog is checked against a live, official source — WorkSafe Victoria, Victorian legislation, or Safe Work Australia — and that source is listed at the bottom of the article with the date it was reviewed. If a rule can't be verified against an official source, it doesn't go in. Nothing here is written from memory.

These guides are general information for Victorian employers and duty holders. They are not legal advice, and Ardmor does not guarantee compliance on anyone's behalf — what we do is make the state of a site visible, and keep it that way.

What I work on

• Site assessments against the OHS Act 2004 (Vic) and the OHS Regulations 2017
• Managed safety for small manufacturers with no in-house safety manager
• Building the records and registers that hold up when an inspector asks for them
