Our Story

In an industry where safety often takes a backseat to production, Zero Industries began with a pivotal moment of clarity. 

 

While working as an industrial electrical contractor, our founder, Travis Stewart, identified a dangerous hazard classification issue. However, an engineer dismissed his concerns and later implemented Travis's solution without credit. This experience revealed a troubling reality: titles carried more weight than practical expertise in many organisations, creating significant facility risks.

 

The stakes became painfully clear when Travis witnessed a near-miss explosion in which sugar dust, wrongly assumed to be harmless, almost became fatal. These experiences fueled his determination to bridge the gap between standard interpretation and real-world implementation of safety measures.

 

Transitioning from an industrial electrician to a project manager and then a Technical Regulator, Travis gained insights into regulatory law and safety standards. 

 

He saw firsthand how minor details could impact a facility's safety profile. This unique combination of practical experience and regulatory knowledge became the foundation for Zero Industries.

 

Since 2015, our approach has achieved zero dust incidents among our clients. The Australian Food Processing Association has recognised us as a preferred safety partner. Published case studies document our transformative impact and a proven 3:1 return on investment through proactive safety measures.

 

At Zero Industries, we believe people deserve to be free and safe in their workplaces. 

 

Our mission extends beyond compliance—it is to ensure that every worker returns home safely.
