Chris Beasley (Managing Director)
Chris Beasley is a bit of a strange one - he actually loves health and
safety!
He also loves movies and walks on the beach - just check out the
picture...
But what makes Chris happiest, is finding pain free health and safety
solutions for businesses who don't necessarily love health and safety as
much as Chris does (i.e. everyone else).
Chris started his working life doing long hours in low end positions in
an Investment Bank in London, having graduated university with a degree
in Town Planning and after growing up in Queensland.
Coming back to Australia from London, Chris worked in Commercial Leasing
and Management for LJ Hooker in Sydney and in speaking to building
landlords, identified that there were some 'OHS obligations' he needed to
be across.
So, Chris undertook a course, then another and pretty soon Chris quit the
property game and set up in business as an OHS Consultant in 2004.
A casual conversation, again with a property landlord (owner of a chain
of hotels), who said 'Surely there is some sort of computer program that
tells my Managers in each business what to do and when to do it so we can
comply with this OHS stuff?', got Chris thinking. At that time,
there really wasn't such a program.
Chris set about building an online health and safety management system,
calling it 'Smart OHS', which essentially simplified health and safety
compliance for small to medium businesses by engaging the business via
auto-emails with instructions to login to the system and use the online
forms available to record necessary ongoing health and safety compliance.
That system is now over ten years old, with many upgrades in the time
since, and three years ago, Chris launched Smart OHS' cousin - Work
Safety Interactive, which was originally set up to offer a higher-level
of support using the system within the golf industry.
Now, Work Safety Interactive is available in over 27 industries and
counts: Industry Associations, Insurance Companies and over 6,500
Australian and New Zealand small to medium businesses as clients.
Chris is obviously pretty happy about this, but one thing continues to
drive him and the Smart OHS system forward is - we make health and safety
compliance easy for business!

safety obligations easily and without breaking the bank, contact him now,
