ABOUT GROUND UP RISK
Practical WHS. Grounded in Real Experience.
Ground Up Risk Solutions was established to provide South Australian organisations with an experienced, practical WHS consultant in Adelaide. We believe Workplace Health & Safety systems shouldn’t be confusing, overly bureaucratic, or disconnected from actual day-to-day operations.
We specialise in helping local light industrial workshops, trade contractors, sports clubs, and environmental non-profits manage risk effectively—protecting workers and volunteers without drowning managers in red tape. Explore our complete range of practical WHS services to see how we can assist your team.
VERSATILE OPERATIONAL BACKGROUND
Meet Alisdair Murray – WHS Consultant Adelaide
Safety advice is only as good as the practical understanding behind it. As a dedicated WHS consultant in Adelaide serving regional South Australia, my approach is built on years of hands-on experience across diverse work environments and community organisations.
Having worked directly in light manufacturing, warehouse operations, chemical formulation, technical leadership, and retail, along with years of hands-on experience as a youth sports coach and NFP warehouse volunteer, I understand how real operations function. That broad background allows me to tailor safety controls that fit your exact workplace, whether it’s a busy workshop floor or a community sporting venue.
“If a safety procedure slows down work unnecessarily or confuses your team or volunteers, it needs to be redesigned.”
