Our Story
Independent Expertise Built on Regulatory Experience
Zero Industries exists because most facilities don't get clarity on their compliance position until an audit or incident forces it.
I founded Zero Industries after working both sides of compliance - as an industrial electrician implementing safety systems, and as a Technical Regulator assessing them.
That path revealed a consistent pattern: facilities struggle not from lack of care, but from lack of clarity about what compliance actually requires.
Working as a Technical Regulator provided direct insight into how compliance is assessed from the regulatory side. Understanding both operational reality and regulatory expectations created unique expertise - knowing not just what standards require, but how requirements apply to real facilities.
At Zero Industries, people deserve to be safe in their workplaces. The mission extends beyond compliance - ensuring every worker returns home safely while maintaining the operational efficiency that keeps businesses viable.
How Zero Industries Work
Direct Access, No Layers
Zero Industries operates through a principal consultant model that serves clients better than traditional consulting firm structures.
As founder and principal consultant, I maintain complete independence from equipment vendors and bring Technical Regulator background unique in Australian compliance consulting.
You work directly with me on every assessment and project. No account managers. No junior consultants learning on your facility. No layers between your questions and answers.
Specialist Network When Required
For specialist requirements - process safety analysis, electrical engineering design, chemical engineering assessment - I engage qualified contractors with deep expertise in their domains.
You get the right specialist for your specific situation, not whoever happens to be available on staff.
Specialists I engage regularly include:
-
Process Safety Engineers (DHA methodology, risk assessment, safeguard analysis)
-
Chemical Engineers (material characterisation, process analysis, dust testing coordination)
-
Electrical Engineers (detailed design, equipment selection, installation verification)
-
Project Managers (large-scale implementations requiring coordination)
You'll know who's involved before work starts. You'll work directly with specialists, not through layers of project management.

What This Means for You
What Technical Regulator Experience Means
Most consultants learn compliance from textbooks and implementing projects. I learned it from assessing facilities against regulatory requirements and investigating incidents.
I know what auditors look for because I conducted audits. I know what documentation passes scrutiny because I reviewed documentation. I know what gaps create liability because I identified gaps in enforcement actions.
That regulatory perspective combined with operational experience creates different consulting outcomes. Recommendations aren't just technically correct - they're defensible under regulatory assessment.
Lower Overhead: You're not paying for specialists sitting idle between projects or large firm infrastructure. You pay for expertise when you need it.
Right Expertise: Projects get matched with specialists who have relevant experience. A pharmaceutical DHA gets someone who understands pharmaceutical operations. A mining HAC gets someone who understands mining ventilation.
Direct Communication: Questions go directly to the person doing the work. No telephone game through account managers or project coordinators.
Independence Maintained: I don't sell equipment. I don't have ongoing service contracts to protect. You get objective analysis focused on compliance, not sales opportunities.
Decision-Maker Access: Every site assessment, every consultation, every strategic decision involves the principal consultant who understands your facility and situation.
Zero Incident Track Record
No incidents among Zero Industries clients since 2015.
That record exists because the assessment approach identifies risks systematically before they become incidents.
Prevention through proper evaluation and practical mitigation strategies that integrate with operational reality.
