"

Internal technical familiarisation workshops are better than what was delivered by a formal training provider when workers first attained their HRWL or unit of competency.

Deferred to as a Subject Matter Expert across critical risk safety systems. Nominated for safety award by peers, chosen by Safety Director and Project Director.
— Kali, H&S Manager
"

Workplace trainers particularly those with expertise in the various disciplines required to address high risk construction competencies are few and far between. Thor is one of the special breed of trainers who deliver quality training outcomes not just in generic competencies but also in training customised to the needs of work teams and their specific high risk activities.

A highly recommended industry trainer.

Thor is a person that is passionate and energetic towards what he does. He does everything at 110% and always delivers on what he says. He is a very honest compliant person that would never bend the rules.

— Aaron, HR/Training/Safety Specialist

Not a consultant.
A tradesman
who didn't stop.

Thor Krause has 27+ years on the tools across Australian construction, mining, and heavy industry. He didn't get into safety from behind a desk — he's done the work, run the sites, and learned what actually kills people.

As Trainer/Assessor on Inpex (Ichthys LNG) for 4 years and Training Manager on WGTP for 7 years, he built and delivered training programs that didn't just tick compliance boxes — they changed how people worked. He changed WorkSafe policy on mandatory PPE in MEWPs, which is now standard across WGTP and SRL projects.

Now he turns that experience into documentation and training that actually holds up when an inspector walks through or an incident gets reviewed. Every SWMS, every course — written by someone who's stood where your crew stands.

"Safety documentation that doesn't reflect what actually happens on site is worse than useless. I write documents that work in the real world."
— Thor Krause, Safety Training Manager & Assessor
