Why do you need to do this?
Under Australian WHS laws, all businesses — including small businesses and sole traders — must identify workplace hazards and manage risks through proper assessment, including environmental risks. This protects you, others, and the environment from harm. Larger companies need to know that even small suppliers can spot and control dangers in their work.
A simple response might be:
"As a small business, I take practical steps to manage risks before starting any job. I check that my tools and equipment are in safe working order, make sure the area is clear of hazards, and wear the right protective gear. I also think about environmental risks like noise, dust, or waste, and how to reduce them. I focus on the biggest risks first and plan how to avoid or control them. This helps me work safely and responsibly, even without employees."
This shows that you understand your responsibilities and can manage risks in a simple but effective way.
