Environmental & Safety Management

Integrated systems. Practical governance. Measurable performance.

Environmental and safety management is no longer a back-office compliance function – it sits at the heart of how responsible resource and industrial companies are financed before govenernance.

Regulators, investors, insurers and the communities in which you operate expect evidence of structured, systematic management of environmental and safety risks. RED OHMS Group delivers the expertise to build, implement and continually improve management systems that go beyond documentation – systems that drive genuine environmental and safety outcomes while protecting your operational licence and your people.

Our environmental and safety management practice is built on the internationally recognised ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems) frameworks. Both standards share a common harmonised structure, making integrated implementation efficient and coherent. Whether you are seeking third-party certification, auditing, embedding management systems into a new project, or strengthening an existing system that has drifted from leading practice, RED OHMS Group provides the technical depth and practical experience to get the work done.

We work across the full project lifecycle – from greenfield development through to operations, closure planning and post-closure monitoring and management. Our consultants bring experience across mining, oil and gas, construction, infrastructure, manufacturing and government sectors and understand the specific regulatory contexts that apply in Western Australia and nationally.

Capabilities

Gap assessments against current edition standards, system design, documentation development, implementation support, internal audit programmes and pre-certification readiness reviews. ISO 14001:2026 is now the current edition; RED OHMS can assist organisations transitioning from ISO 14001:2015.

Independent environmental and safety audits against management system requirements, regulatory obligations and licence conditions.

Comprehensive environmental and safety risk assessments using bow-tie, HAZID, HAZOP and qualitative/quantitative risk matrix methodologies. Identification of critical controls and assurance activities. Applicable to project planning, operational change management and compliance risk reviews.

Development of environmental and safety management plans, procedures, work instructions, emergency response plans, commitment registers and legal registers. Documents designed for operational useability, not just regulatory compliance.

Experienced environmental and safety professionals embedded into your operations or project team on short- or long-term arrangements. Provides surge capacity, specialist expertise and continuity of management system performance during peak project phases or periods of staff transition.

Why Integrated Management Systems Matter

Organisations that manage environmental and safety risks within a single, coherent integrated management system consistently outperform those operating fragmented or siloed approaches.

The ISO Harmonised Structure enables ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 to share policy, leadership commitment, legal register, objectives and internal audit infrastructure – reducing duplication, improving governance and making it easier to demonstrate to regulators and auditors that your system is genuine and functional.

For mining and resources companies operating in Western Australia, the EPA’s assessment process, the regulator licensing conditions and DEMIRS requirements all expect evidence of systematic environmental and safety management. A well-implemented ISO-aligned management system is the best evidence that an organisation is meeting its obligations and continuously improving its performance.

FAQs

Certification is not mandatory in most jurisdictions, but it provides independent, third-party verified evidence of conformance – which is increasingly expected by major project operators, financiers and government procurement agencies. RED OHMS can help you implement the standards to a certification-ready standard and support your transition to formal certification when the time is right. Note that ISO 14001:2015 has been replaced by ISO 14001:2026; organisations currently certified should consult their certification body regarding transition timelines.

A commitment register is a consolidated record of all environmental, safety and regulatory obligations applicable to your operation – drawn from legislation, licence conditions, ministerial conditions, industry codes and voluntary commitments. It is the foundation of a compliance management system, enabling you to track obligations, assign accountability, monitor performance and demonstrate due diligence to regulators. RED OHMS develops and maintains commitment registers tailored to the specific regulatory context of each client’s operations.

Yes. We regularly place experienced environmental and HSE professionals into client operations on secondment – ranging from short-term project support through to multi-year operational roles. Secondments are scoped to your specific needs and can be structured to include knowledge transfer to your permanent team.
