Taylor Made Training & Safety is a family-owned Mackay business helping mining, manufacturing, construction and transport operators stay safe and compliant - on-site safety, WorkCover return-to-work, safety systems and accredited training, without the cost of a full-time safety officer.
A handful of the operators we have worked with across Central Queensland.
Michael walked our team through the WorkCover return-to-work process during a tough injury claim. Took the stress out of it and got our injured worker back on light duties within four weeks. Worth every cent.
We had been getting safety advice from a consultant in Brisbane who never set foot on site. Switched to Taylor Made eighteen months ago and our incident rate is the lowest it has been in years.
The HSR training Michael ran for our crew was practical, on time and the team actually engaged with it. Will book the next round through Taylor Made without thinking about it.
For 20 years we have helped Central Queensland operators meet and maintain compliance - so smaller and medium businesses get expert safety cover without the cost of a full-time health and safety officer.
From on-site safety contracting to full safety systems and injury management - the right level of support for your workforce, no more, no less.
On-site safety contracting and supervision - including Working at Heights and Confined Space Entry - so your jobs run safely and compliantly while you focus on the work.
