Plant Risk Assessments
A plant risk assessment is a documented evaluation of mobile and fixed plant, equipment and vehicles used in the workplace. It identifies hazards, assesses the level of risk, checks compliance against site requirements and recommends practical controls to reduce the chance of injury or incident.
Who Needs One?
Under Tasmanian WHS law, any PCBU (person conducting a business or undertaking) must manage risks associated with plant. This makes plant risk assessments essential for:
-
Construction, civil and mining contractors operating heavy or mobile plant
-
Transport, logistics and agricultural businesses with vehicle or machinery fleets
-
Manufacturing and industrial sites with fixed plant
-
Principal contractors verifying subcontractor plant before it's mobilised to site
-
Businesses introducing new, used or hired plant into the workplace
-
A current assessment supports legal compliance, protects against liability, and is often a condition of site access on construction and government projects.
How It's Completed
-
Our inspectors physically examine the plant, checking compliance, guarding, controls and safety-critical components.
-
You receive a full report with risk matrix, photos, non-conformances and any practical control measures required to make that machine compliant.
-
Reassessment – Annual reassessments confirm controls remain effective as plant ages or conditions change.
TasSafe provides this service statewide, with inspectors based in Devonport, Launceston and Hobart.
02
Project Onboarding Inspections
A project onboarding inspection verifies that plant and equipment meets a specific worksite's requirements before it's mobilised — checking each item against the principal contractor's plant standards, site-specific WHS requirements, and relevant Australian Standards. It's the compliance step that happens before plant crosses the gate, not after.
Every site has different requirements — from documentation and permit conditions through to specific guarding, signage, fire suppression or GPS/proximity systems. We inspect plant against these exact requirements, flag any non-conformances, and issue clear notification of what needs to be resolved before the item is approved for use on site.
Who Needs One?
-
Subcontractors required to demonstrate plant compliance before mobilising to a principal contractor's site
-
Principal contractors and project managers needing independent verification that incoming plant meets project and site-specific standards
-
Businesses working across multiple sites, each with different onboarding checklists and compliance criteria
-
Tenderers needing to show plant is pre-vetted and audit-ready as part of a bid or induction process
How It's Completed
-
Requirement Mapping – We confirm the specific site or principal contractor checklist, permit conditions and compliance criteria that apply to the project.
-
Inspection – Each plant item is physically checked against those requirements, alongside general mechanical and safety condition.
-
Non-Conformance Identification – Any gaps against the site's specific requirements are recorded and rated for priority.
-
Notification – You and the principal contractor receive clear notice of any items requiring resolution before approval.
-
Sign-Off – Once corrective action is confirmed, the item is cleared for site entry.
Our system is built for flexibility — checklists and criteria are configured to each client and project, so results stay consistent whether you're onboarding one machine or a full fleet across multiple sites.
03
Annual Compliance Inspections
An annual compliance inspection is a scheduled 12-month review of a plant item's original Plant Risk Assessment or Project Onboarding Inspection. Rather than starting from scratch, we revisit the findings on file, confirm previous hazard controls are still effective, check for any modifications that may have changed the risk profile, and identify any new non-conformances that have developed with age or use.
It's the ongoing half of compliance — the check that confirms a pass on day one still holds true twelve months later.
Who Needs One?
-
Businesses with plant already assessed or onboarded by TasSafe, needing to maintain continuous compliance
-
Sites and principal contractors with legislation or contract terms requiring annual reassessment of plant already in service
-
Fleet owners wanting an ongoing management plan rather than one-off, ad hoc assessments
-
Any business needing to demonstrate that hazard controls remain current and effective as plant ages
How It's Completed
-
File Review – We pull the original Plant Risk Assessment or Onboarding Inspection to establish the baseline of controls and prior findings.
-
Verification – Each control identified in the original assessment is checked to confirm it's still in place and effective.
-
Change Detection – The plant is inspected for modifications, wear, or repairs that may have altered its risk profile since the last assessment.
-
Non-Conformance Identification – Any new issues are recorded and rated using the same risk matrix as the original assessment, for direct comparison.
-
Reporting – You receive an updated report referencing the prior assessment, confirming what remains compliant and flagging anything requiring action.
We offer ongoing management plans and discounted reassessment pricing for clients on a recurring 12-month cycle — get in touch to set one up for your fleet.

Testimonials
What others say about us
Jason.S - Kingston TAS
"Thorough and easy to deal with. They flagged a few things on our excavator we hadn't picked up ourselves and explained exactly what needed fixing"
William.N - Bridgewater TAS
"We manage a large mixed fleet across multiple sites and needed a provider who could handle volume without cutting corners. Reporting is consistent across every machine, and their inspectors understand what our site standards actually require — not just a generic checklist"
Miles.B - Burnie TAS
"We've used them for our annual reassessments for two years now. Consistent, well-documented, and the team is easy to get hold of when we need to move fast."
