Aviation
Rob Feasey, principal of QHSE, spent forty years in aviation as a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, with a period at the industry body, and has been a CAA-recognised Senior Person for SMS. A Part 100 SMS manages risk to aviation safety; the Health and Safety at Work Act covers the same organisation more widely, and CAA leaves the join to the operator.
- SMS and HSWA gap analysis: what the SMS covers, what it does not, and what to do about it.
- The CAA and WorkSafe boundary mapped for the operation.
- Officer due diligence, overlapping duties with farmers, airports and ground handlers, and readiness for the 2027 changes.
- SafePlus assessment run alongside the gap analysis, plus ground operations health and safety, audits, quality systems, risk and training.

Government and local government
Public sector organisations carry the same duties as any other PCBU, with the added weight of public scrutiny. Central government agencies and Crown entities, and regional and district councils, all run an unusually wide range of activity, much of it delivered through contractors, and councils have elected members who are officers in their own right.
- SafePlus assessments across the organisation's activities.
- Officer due diligence support and briefings for elected members, boards and executives.
- Risk framework design and critical risk reviews.
- Contractor management review and health and safety system audits.

- Machine safety assessment, guarding review and equipment compliance.
- Electrical safety and portable appliance testing.
- Quality management systems aligned to ISO 9001.
- SafePlus assessments, ACC AEP audits and practical advice.

Other sectors
Transport and logistics, construction, warehousing and distribution, primary industries, engineering services, education, hospitality and retail. If people are at work, the duties apply and the method travels. Most of the work QHSE does is the same in any industry: an honest look at the critical risks, at whether the controls hold up, and at whether the officers can show they are exercising their duty.
