The same ONE principles can support construction, mining, manufacturing, transport, facilities, health, government and other industries without forcing every business into construction language.
Whatever the industry. Start with the work.
ONE is designed around the task and its real context rather than forcing every business into the same safety workflow.

ONE starts with the work, then adapts to the industry, jurisdiction and workplace around it.
The document name, duty, permit, terminology and evidence required can change between industries and jurisdictions even when the physical work looks similar.
ONE uses the known context to guide the appropriate pathway and asks for the differences that matter to this workplace, task and legal setting.
Same work. Different context. Different answer.
ONE is designed to adapt the pathway to the task, industry, jurisdiction, workplace rules and verified requirements — rather than forcing every organisation into the same generic form.
Start with what the person is actually going to do.
Industry, jurisdiction, workplace, people, plant and client requirements can change the pathway.
Apply the right legal and workplace language only when the applicable source is known.
Choose the appropriate document, checks, prerequisites and evidence — without hiding uncertainty.
One intelligence model. Fifteen very different work environments.
ONE should not give a mine, a hospital, a construction site and an office the same safety journey. It starts with the work, then adapts the pathway to what applies.
Construction
SWMS where the legal trigger applies, high-risk work licences, permits, inductions, plant, principal-contractor rules, pre-starts and evidence — connected to the actual job.
Mining & Energy
JSA/JHA or site risk processes, isolation, permits, competency, site standards, plant, shift conditions and evidence — aligned to the mine or energy workplace rather than a construction template.
Manufacturing
SOPs and Work Instructions, machinery guarding, isolation/LOTO, chemicals, maintenance permits, competency, pre-starts and corrective actions around production work.
Transport & Logistics
Vehicles, loading and unloading, traffic interfaces, fatigue, route and customer-site conditions, inductions, licences, plant checks and changing delivery environments.
Warehousing
Forklifts and mobile plant, pedestrian separation, loading docks, racking, manual handling, pre-starts, contractor work and site-specific access requirements.
Agriculture & Marine
Machinery, chemicals, weather, remote work, water, animals or vessels, communications, seasonal conditions and the practical controls that change with the environment.
Utilities & Environment
Live services, isolation, confined spaces, excavation, permits, remote field work, environmental controls, competencies and client or asset-owner requirements.
Facilities & Field Services
Different client sites, access rules, maintenance permits, contractor inductions, lone or after-hours work, plant, service interruptions and evidence of completion.
Property & Workplace Services
Cleaning, maintenance, security, public interfaces, chemicals, contractors and building-specific requirements — with the task adapted to each property and client.
Health & Community Care
Patient or client handling, infection risks, aggression, home or facility conditions, worker competency, equipment and care-specific procedures connected to the task.
Education & Training
Workshops, laboratories, maintenance, contractors, excursions, students, supervision, equipment and the different controls that apply across learning environments.
Government
Office, operational and field work, contractor assurance, procurement requirements, public interfaces, plant, site rules and evidence across diverse agencies and workplaces.
Defence & Emergency Services
Controlled access, command and authority, equipment readiness, high-consequence tasks, deployment conditions and site-specific procedures where clarity and traceability matter.
Retail & Hospitality
Kitchens, deliveries, cleaning chemicals, manual handling, contractors, plant, customer-facing environments and changing conditions across stores, venues and shifts.
Technology & Professional Services
Office and field work, ergonomics, psychosocial risks, electrical or data-centre tasks, contractors, travel and lone work — without forcing low-risk work into heavy paperwork.
ONE is designed around work, not an industry label.
Questions about this part of ONE.
Open only the question that matters to you.
Does ONE use the same safety language in every industry?
No. ONE should adapt to the terminology and controlled requirements relevant to the jurisdiction, industry and workplace — for example SWMS, JSA/JHA, SOP or other appropriate task language.
Can ONE support a business that works across industries?
The architecture is intended to resolve the actual workplace and task context rather than permanently locking an organisation into one generic industry workflow.
What if a client or principal contractor adds its own rule?
Project, client and site requirements can be treated as additional controlled context and checked alongside the organisation’s own requirements.
I still have another question. What should I do?
