Redback investigates incidents and serious hazards within 12–24 hours where practicable, with immediate response for urgent safety or environmental risks — the response standard Council and commercial clients rely on.

Investigation Timing for Incidents & Hazards

Our response window

Redback aims to investigate incidents and serious hazards within 12 to 24 hours where practicable, with immediate response for urgent safety or environmental risks. This is the response standard our Council, commercial and strata clients build into their contracts.

  • 24/7 phone response — always ready, always responsive.
  • Hazard reporting — report, assess and prioritise.
  • Fast action — quick coordination and effective resolution.
  • Documented investigation report supplied to the client.

Why this matters

WHS incidents, food-site complaints and Council public-safety issues have short response windows before they escalate. Redback's investigation SLA is designed to sit inside those windows and give the client a written record of what happened, what was done and what's next.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between an incident and a hazard?+

A hazard is a condition that could cause harm (e.g. rodent bait damage, wasp nest near a playground). An incident is something that has already happened (e.g. staff sting, bait ingestion). Both trigger the Redback investigation workflow.

Do you provide written investigation reports?+

Yes — every hazard or incident investigation is documented and supplied to the client for their WHS or compliance records.
