The DRA Engineering department have been instrumental in setting the standard for Australian Major Amusement Park operators to meet the Queensland Government’s stricter safety requirements. So much so that Major Amusement Park operators from other States in Australia have engaged our services. Our achievements in this field has positioned us as setting world-class, best practice safety standards across the many Major Amusement Parks, we work with.
Some of the smaller amusement park operators have also engaged our services to audit their business and provide recommendations. This has been the building block for implementing continual improvement systems within these smaller operators’ systems. Note: this is not a WHS Legislative requirement in Queensland or the other States of Australia.
We offer a range of health and safety courses, safety training and WHS consultancy services provided by qualified Health and Safety Consultants.

Client and Student testimonials
I have had a professional association with DRA for over 20 years in a number of educational and school settings using many of the services they supply. Their training arm is particularly strong with up to date referenced material and tailored courses if the need requires. Safety Direct Plus provides immense value in providing not only the answers to many queries but also the documented basis for a robust safety system. Over the years I have enjoyed collaboration with the staff of DRA working to solve the not so straight forward issues which seem to often arise in the schools’ sector. Even in retirement where I provide occasional help to past associates, I use DRA staff and services for reference.
Since we first engaged DRA’s services in 2013 they have been a wonderful support to the Gold Coast Waterways Authority. Their Safety Management system and extensive experience in all aspects of safety makes us confident we are not only compliant, but leading the way in our safety practice.
