Safety as a Service: How Irwin’s + Wombat Are Changing the Game

In today’s world, safety management isn’t just about compliance: it’s about adaptability, visibility, and efficiency. Companies are under pressure to do more with less, balancing tight budgets, growing teams, and increasing regulatory demands.

That’s why Irwin’s Safety and Wombat Safety Software have joined forces to offer a new kind of solution: Safety as a Service.

What Is Safety as a Service?

Safety as a Service combines technology + expertise to deliver a complete, managed safety solution. Instead of buying standalone software or outsourcing safety consultants separately, organizations can now access both through one integrated partnership.

Wombat provides the platform, a digital hub where inspections, training, incidents, and documents all live in one place.
Irwin’s Safety provides the people, experienced safety professionals who help set up, monitor, and continually improve your program.

It’s the best of both worlds: software that automates your safety work, and real experts who make sure it’s done right.

Why the Industry Is Moving This Way

Traditional safety systems often fall into one of two extremes:

1. Companies buy software but struggle to implement it effectively, or
2. They rely on consultants but lack real-time visibility into their safety data. 

Safety as a Service bridges that gap. By combining Irwin’s experience with Wombat’s technology, organizations gain:

• Full visibility into safety performance across every site.
• Custom configuration aligned with company workflows.
• Real-time updates on training, forms, and compliance status.
  
• Ongoing support from Irwin’s safety team to ensure success.

The result is a seamless, data-driven safety program that grows with your business.

Why It Works

Wombat was built by people who understand field realities. It’s mobile-first, intuitive, and works online or offline: perfect for crews in remote areas.
Irwin’s brings decades of experience helping companies across Canada meet regulatory standards, deliver training, and build strong safety cultures.

Together, we create a partnership that doesn’t just give you a tool, it gives you a team and a strategy.
