Property Risk Assessment (PRA)
At KM3 Safety, we conduct Property Risk Assessments (PRAs) to help businesses, property owners, and property managers identify and understand the hazards and risks associated with their operations. Our assessments provide practical recommendations and viable control measures to manage risks effectively while driving continuous improvement.
PRAs also support property owners and managers in meeting their due diligence and compliance obligations with confidence.
Our PRA Approach — A Structured 4-Stage Process:
Stage 1 — Desktop Review
Analysis of relevant documentation including existing safety records, plans, and compliance history.
Stage 2 — Onsite Inspection
Physical walkthrough and review of property conditions, infrastructure, and safety systems.
Stage 3 — Safety Map / Gap Analysis
Evaluation of the existing management system against best practice and regulatory requirements.
Stage 4 — Detailed Reporting
Development of a comprehensive property risk report with prioritised recommendations.
Areas of Focus During PRAs:
- Roof access and working at heights
- Plant rooms and equipment safety
- Emergency management systems (e.g., fire pump rooms)
- Emergency access and egress routes
- Chemical storage areas
- Waste storage areas
Audit Elements Covered:
Our property risk audits assess compliance and risks across critical safety and environmental elements including:
- Confined Spaces
- Fall prevention systems
- Fire safety and emergency management
- Contractor management
- Hazardous chemicals (dangerous goods and hazardous substances)
- Traffic management
- Public liability exposures
- Indoor air quality, noise, and lighting
- Radio frequency radiation (RFR)
- Environmental management practices

Confined Space
Confined spaces pose serious risks because they are not designed for regular occupancy and often have poor ventilation, increasing the likelihood of hazardous atmospheres developing. The dangers are not always obvious and can change with each entry.
What is a confined space? A confined space is an enclosed or partially enclosed area that is not designed or intended for human occupancy, is at normal atmospheric pressure when entered, and poses risks to health and safety due to unsafe oxygen levels, airborne contaminants, or potential for engulfment. Entry is defined as when a person's head or upper body crosses into the boundary of the space.
Key Risks in Confined Spaces:
- Exposure to airborne contaminants
- Fire or explosion from flammable vapours or gases
- Difficulty rescuing and treating an injured or unconscious person
- Oxygen deficiency or engulfment in free-flowing materials (e.g., sand, water, grain)
- Falls from height
- Environmental hazards (heat, cold, poor lighting)
- Difficulty in rescue operations
- Manual handling injuries
Our Confined Space Services:
At KM3 Safety, we provide a complete range of confined space compliance services to help organisations meet legislative and code of practice requirements:
- Confined Space Identification
- Confined Space Risk Assessments
- Development of Confined Space Permits & Procedures
- Compliance with applicable legislation and Codes of Practice
- Emergency preparedness and evacuation planning

Plant Risk Assessment
A Plant Risk Assessment is a critical tool for identifying hazards associated with plant and machinery and establishing effective safety control measures to protect people, property, and the environment.
Under applicable WHS legislation, multiple duty holders share responsibilities in managing plant risks, including: PCBUs (Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking) managing or controlling plant and equipment; designers, manufacturers, importers, and suppliers of plant and structures; and officers, workers, and other persons in the workplace.
Our 3-Step Process:
Step 1 — Identification & Assessment
Document significant risks linked to nominated plant items and machinery.
Step 2 — Review of Existing Controls
Evaluate current safety measures in place against best practice standards.
Step 3 — Recommendations
Provide additional or improved control measures to eliminate or minimise risks to an acceptable level.
Standards & Compliance:
Our Plant Risk Assessments are based on WHS Legislation, Codes of Practice, and relevant Australian and International Standards, including:
- AS 4024.1–2019 Series — Safety of Machinery
- AS 1657:2018 — Fixed Platforms, Walkways, Stairways, and Ladders
- AS 3760:2010 — In-service Safety Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment
- Applicable national WHS Regulations and Codes of Practice

Hazardous Chemical Management
Under WHS Regulation, a hazardous chemical is any substance, mixture, or article that falls within one or more hazard classes under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). These include many common industrial, commercial, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and domestic chemicals.
At KM3 Safety, we help businesses effectively manage the risks associated with hazardous chemicals in the workplace through a comprehensive, structured approach to hazard identification, documentation, and control.
Our Services:
- Workplace Reviews — assessment of handling, storage, and use of hazardous chemicals with detailed reporting and recommendations
- Hazard Identification — evaluation of key risks linked to hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods
- Chemical Registers & Documentation — development of Hazardous Chemical Registers and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) management
- Labelling & Compliance — ensuring chemical containers are correctly labelled in line with WHS requirements
- Storage & Containment — assessment of secondary containment, spill response, and emergency procedures
- Placarding & Manifest Requirements — compliance for bulk chemical storage at workplaces
- Risk Assessments & SWMS — creation of risk assessments and safe work method statements for the safe use of hazardous chemicals
