Yes, they do. Every small business in Perth has legal duties under Western Australia’s Work Health and Safety Act 2020, whether you employ two people or two hundred. You must manage risks, consult your workers, provide training and keep your workplace safe, and a safety management system is the most reliable way to show you are doing it.
It does not need to be a thick manual. For most small businesses, it is a short, practical set of routines for spotting hazards, controlling risks, training your people and recording what you do. When a client, insurer or regulator asks questions, those records prove safety is managed on purpose, not by chance.
At SAFESCOPE Consulting, we build these systems to fit the size and risk of your business, from a Perth CBD office to a busy workshop.
