Small Business
Big Safety. Small Price. Zero Stress.
Small businesses in Australia have the same WHS obligations as large corporations — but often without the resources or dedicated safety staff. SHEQDocX makes compliance simple and affordable, giving small business owners access to professional-grade safety documentation without the need for an in-house safety team.
Key Hazards
Common Risks in Small Business
Slips, trips and falls — the most common small business injury
Manual handling from stock, deliveries and workspace activities
Electrical safety in shopfronts and workspaces
Customer and public liability in shared or open spaces
Psychosocial risks for sole traders and small teams
Fire safety compliance in retail and commercial premises
Contractor management for ad hoc trades and services
