WHS compliance software
WHS compliance software is a digital platform that helps organisations meet Work Health and Safety obligations by managing inspections, incident reporting, risk assessments, corrective actions and audit trails. It replaces paper-based compliance registers with a single system of record that tracks what was checked, when, by whom and what evidence was attached.
Why it matters
Australian WHS legislation places a positive duty on PCBUs (Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking) to ensure the health and safety of workers. Penalties for non-compliance can reach millions of dollars for organisations and personal liability for officers. Manual systems create gaps in evidence trails, miss inspection due dates and make it difficult to demonstrate due diligence during audits or incident investigations. WHS compliance software closes these gaps by automating reminders, capturing evidence at the point of work and producing audit-ready reports on demand.
How MapTrack helps
MapTrack combines pre-start inspections, safety checklists, incident reporting and corrective actions with asset-level compliance tracking. Every inspection is attached to the specific asset, location or project, creating a complete compliance history. Automated alerts ensure nothing falls overdue, and the mobile app works offline so field teams can complete inspections even in remote areas. Compliance reports can be generated instantly for auditors, regulators or clients.

Compliance Management
Compliance management in asset-intensive industries is the systematic process of ensuring that equipment, operations, and personnel meet all applicable regulatory, safety, environmental, and contractual requirements. It encompasses tracking inspection due dates, certifications, licences, safety checks, environmental obligations, and industry-specific standards. Compliance management requires both proactive scheduling and thorough record-keeping.
Pre-Start Inspection
A pre-start inspection is a systematic check performed on plant, equipment, or vehicles before each use or shift to identify defects, damage, or unsafe conditions. It typically follows a standardised checklist covering safety-critical items such as brakes, steering, lights, tyres, guards, fluid levels, and warning devices. Pre-start inspections are a legal requirement under workplace health and safety regulations in most Australian jurisdictions.
