Expert Guidance in Safety Compliance, Legal Compliance & Risk Management

- Christine Wilson, People and Culture Leader (Dec 2023) (LinkedIn):  

"Andrea Paynter of Organisational Risk Consulting is one of the best WHS professionals I have worked with. She is passionate about safety and people and is really pragmatic and friendly to work with. When we worked together at NHVR Andrea did an amazing job developing and implementing organisation wide leadership and Board WHS Reporting, really increasing awareness and influencing actions. 

During a short term contract role earlier this year, I had the pleasure of working with Andrea again. Knowing she had started her own consultancy, I contacted her to undertake an organisation wide assessment to recommend immediate interventions supporting a FMCG business. Andrea was amazing at completing this work and understanding the business needs. Her initial brief was expanded by the Executive team.
I would definitely recommend Andrea to any business (and industry) needing WHS strategic advice, process and risk-assessment reviews, reporting, capability uplift or system implementation. She is a helpful, caring, driven and trusted professional."
