South West: lithium to viticulture.

The South West is the most diversified industrial region in WA: lithium and bauxite mining, alumina refining, lithium processing, coal mining and power generation at Collie, port operations at Bunbury, plantation forestry, viticulture and agriculture, manufacturing, hospitality and tourism. Each carries its own WHS profile and we deliver across the full range.

Sectors and risks we routinely engage on

Lithium mining and processing

Talison Lithium mining and processing operations in Greenbushes and their contract partners to assist with the safe delivery of essential materials for the worlds energy sector. 

Bauxite and alumina

Alcoa and South32 alumina operations and their contractors drive a significant portion of the South West work and employment. Alumina refining carries distinctive process safety, hazardous chemical and high-temperature operation risks.

Coal mining and power generation transition

Collie’s coal and power sector is in active workforce transition. Our work there increasingly covers psychosocial hazard management, fatigue, retraining-period WHS oversight and emergency response for legacy infrastructure.

Forestry

Plantation and native forestry operations carry classic forestry hazards: chainsaw and falling work, mobile plant, log handling, isolated worker conditions. We support both major forestry operators and their contractors.

Viticulture and agriculture

Viticulture, horticulture and agriculture operations have growing WHS expectations — chemical exposure, machinery safety, isolated worker, seasonal worker training, and increasingly psychosocial hazard management.

Hospitality and tourism

The Margaret River region’s hospitality and tourism sector engages us for WHS systems, manual handling, kitchen safety, and event safety work.

Mobilisation logistics

Most South West locations are reachable by road from HSES Head Office and Perth within 2–4 hours. Bunbury serves as a useful regional staging point for the broader South West.
