Why RAE IQ

Built by a safety practitioner for the SMEs no consultant calls back.

I'm Aaron. I have a postgraduate qualification in occupational health, safety and environment, and I've spent enough time inside Australian SMEs to know one thing: the businesses that need a real safety system the most are the ones who can least afford the consultancy hours to build it.

RAE IQ is the platform I wish I'd had when I was the safety lead. A copilot that drafts the documents, runs the registers, tracks the obligations and grounds every output in something you can defend, without paying $300 an hour.

Built in Australia, for Australian work.

Sources a court would accept.

Every regulatory output the platform produces is traceable to a defined 7-tier authority hierarchy. Top to bottom, what we cite and why we cite it.

Tier 1Binding lawWHS Acts, regulations, mandatory codes
Tier 2ISO standardsISO 45001, 45003, 19011 and the family

Two national transitions we're already tracking

NSW WHS s26A

Codes of Practice become enforceable duties in New South Wales. RAE IQ already references the relevant Codes in every NSW SWMS, RA and TBT.

WES → WEL

Workplace Exposure Standards become Workplace Exposure Limits across Australia. Chemical risk assessments and the chemical register surface the new WELs as they land.

Built for every Australian jurisdiction.

Terminology, legislation citations and regulator names adapt to your state automatically. Pick Queensland and your SWMS references Workplace Health and Safety Queensland; pick Victoria and it references WorkSafe Victoria. PCBU vs employer is handled for you.

How the copilot works.

The honest explanation of what's happening behind every drafted document, in one paragraph.

The drafting engine uses Anthropic's Claude model with structured-output schemas (Zod) so the response shape is verified at generation time. Jurisdiction context is prompt-cached so we only pay to read it once. Your reference documents (uploaded SOPs, policies, client requirements) are injected into the prompt for that single generation, and dropped immediately afterwards.

Customer data is never used to train AI models. Prompts are short-lived and isolated to your organisation; nothing you upload leaves the platform's tenancy.

Security posture

Every table is protected by row-level security; every organisation is fully isolated; everything is encrypted in transit and at rest.

  • Row-level security on every table: no cross-organisation data leaks possible.
  • Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (Postgres + Supabase Storage).
  • Audit logs on medical record access and other sensitive workflows.
  • Privacy Act 1988-aligned defaults for worker health monitoring data.
