Workplace Health, Safety & Wellbeing

Compass IoT's commitment to ensuring the health, safety, and wellbeing of all staff, contractors, and visitors — and the responsibilities that sit across the organisation to make this real.

Last updated May 2026 · Compass IoT Pty Ltd

Our commitment

Compass IoT is committed to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of its staff and visitors — managing risk to prevent physical and psychosocial injury or illness.

This policy applies to all staff, contractors, affiliates, and visitors to Compass IoT when undertaking work, activities, or functions at or on behalf of Compass. The success of our health, safety, and wellbeing management system depends on the commitment, cooperation, and input of everyone under its scope.

This policy is established in compliance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) and the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 (NSW), and aligns to ISO 45001:2018, ISO 45003:2021, and ISO 31000:2018.

Principles

  • Ensuring effective consultation and communication mechanisms are implemented, monitored and improved.
  • Providing a safe environment for work.
  • Providing adequate facilities for the health, safety and wellbeing of staff and visitors.

Psychosocial safety

Psychological health and wellbeing

Compass IoT recognises that psychological harm is as serious as physical harm. A psychosocial hazard is anything in the design or management of work that increases the risk of work-related stress or psychological harm. Our WHS management system specifically addresses psychosocial risks in alignment with ISO 45003:2021.

Psychosocial stressors we actively work to prevent include:

  • Unreasonable job demands or lack of role clarity.
  • Lack of control over work undertaken.
  • Poorly managed organisational change or restructuring.
  • Poor reward, recognition, or organisational justice practices.
  • Issues with the physical work environment.
  • Violence, aggressive behaviour, bullying, or harassment.
  • Sexual harm or poor workplace relationships.

Our approach

Compass IoT maintains a flexible, remote-friendly working environment with a focus on reasonable workloads, open communication, and psychological safety. Concerns about psychosocial hazards can be raised directly with a manager or with the Executive Team at any time.
