DRA SAFETY

Our work in the Amusement Industry is widely trusted and recognised, especially for the support we continue to provide the industry and through our Amusement Device Inspections (Amusement Ride Inspections). Even before the additional legislative requirements were placed on the Amusement Industry, we continue to be the lead company providing quality support to the Amusement industry. We also continue to inspect Inflatable Amusement Devices, as defined in the state WHS Legislation.

Now we have taken on more associated Theme Parks and attractions as a result of our proven safety advice and the qualified/certified Engineering consultancy service we complete. Our inspections are complemented by the use of Drones to inspect inaccessible; difficult to reach or high-risk access areas. For more information on how we use drones to complement our services please visit the Engineering Drones use page.

The DRA Engineering department have been instrumental in setting the standard for Australian Major Amusement Park operators to meet the Queensland Government’s stricter safety requirements. So much so that Major Amusement Park operators from other States in Australia have engaged our services. Our achievements in this field have positioned us as setting world-class, best practice safety standards across the many Major Amusement Parks, we work with.

Some of the smaller amusement park operators have also engaged our services to audit their business and provide recommendations. This has been the building block for implementing continual improvement systems within these smaller operators’ systems. Note: this is not a WHS Legislative requirement in Queensland or the other States of Australia.

DRA Safety has been providing safety consultancy services to the education, council, health, heavy industry, and service sectors for over 30 years. Our engineering services started in the amusement industry, but the skill of our engineers has since attracted demand from heavy industry too. Our safety services are provided by consultants who are experienced, qualified and well versed in the WHS Legislation across Australia. Our consultants are all certified by the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS) and are required to undergo annual confirmation of professional development in the Safety Field.

The Engineering Consultancy team is led by qualified and RPEQ certified engineers with extensive experience in a broad range of industries. With experiences from working in various position the advice provided will be from a point of experience. Our Engineering Consultants have membership to the Australian Amusement Leisure & Recreation Association and are considered as leading providers in the amusement industry in Australia promoting benchmark quality standards in maintenance and safety.

We provide Safety Management System (SMS) Audits, completed by a qualified Safety Consultant to assist in the implementation of the SMS. Our Asset Management also assist in controlling costs and management in businesses. With the harmonisation of the Work Health and Safety legislation across Australia it has become easier to establish a benchmark for businesses across our state borders.

Our team of Engineers on hand, David, Sina, Jack, Mitchell and Ryan are available to assist with any question relating to Amusement Devices.

Mental Health in the Workplace has been an issue for many years, now businesses are becoming more aware of this issue and are developing systems to better understand and act when required. One in five Australian employees report that they have taken time off work due to feeling mentally unwell in the past 12 months (source Beyond Blue). We have developed this free toolkit to assist organisations in getting conversations around Mental Health started.
