Our Mission

"A highly qualified regional based service to regional based businesses".

To be an outstanding and cost effective provider of OHS&W advice, consultancy and training services to businesses in regional South Australia and to fill the gap that is primarily serviced by travelling metropolitan consultants.

Our goal is to provide accurate and constructive OHS&W advice and training to assist in improving safe workplaces and meeting OHS&W statutory requirements. Our goal is also to help businesses improve their bottom line through managing OHS&W systematically.

Our Consultant

Mark Braithwaite is our Principal Consultant for Southern OHS Solutions and he has 20 years experience in health and safety spanning Commonwealth and State based legislation with a range of OHS&W, management and training qualifications.

Highly qualified and experienced, Mark has assisted a range of different businesses around regional South Australia in establishing and maintaining safety systems. His interactive and high quality training skills has also seen him sought after by some of the state's largest employers.

Mark is an accredited auditor and also has qualifications in Training & Assessment and Management. Mark is engaged by TAFE SA as a lecturer in Occupational Health & Safety and has been highly sought after in this role. Mark pioneered TAFE SA Regional's OHS&W training and in 2009 became the first ever endorsed training provider outside of the greater metro area of Adelaide to deliver Safework SA accredited training. Mark and TAFE SA Regional are still the only fully based regional provider endorsed to do this.

Mark's service strengths are within training/education as well as self insured environments, mining/resources, healthcare, administration, auditing, emergency planning/fire safety sectors and much more. This vast array of skills and experience can be applied in almost any field of work - particularly when it comes to broad OHS&W matters or those relating to educating businesses on improving profits and productivity through implementing good safety systems.

Service & Fee Structure

Are you a Small Business, Farm, Community Club, School
or Not-for-Profit organisation?
Ask us about how you can access our services for free!

A FREE initial consultation service is provided on site to businesses in Whyalla. Outside of Whyalla this service is still available if Mark is already in the area, or can be conducted by telephone. This service is available to help identify or answer initial concerns and a way to discuss potential services or issues in advance. There is no obligation attached to this service.

Fees are structured depending on the work required and are designed to be as cost effective for businesses as possible. Due to already being based in Regional SA and having lower overheads, Southern OHS Solutions will have much lower fees than other providers, particularly those travelling from Adelaide.

We always encourage and welcome feedback
on any part of our service structure.

Our fee structure broadly encompasses:

	Quarterly, six-monthly or annual service agreements involving regular site visits/assistance with managing OHS&W
	Hourly rate
	Daily rate
	Set quote for a particular service provided (eg: half day training)

A summary of fees is available to businesses by request, usually during a free consultation visit, via a quote for services or through other initial enquiries.

Note: Travel and accommodation is not charged unless reasonably incurred and often built into training delivery (eg: due to close proximity to Whyalla usually Cowell, Cleve and Kimba are asked for a very modest amount to cover a small portion of the fuel costs). Travel is charged at a flat rate of only 50c per km (and even then it's not charged for the return leg of the journey!).
