SafeWork NSW, Australia

The deployment of m-View BWCs and Altitude DEMS has delivered measurable impact in several key areas:

Improved Inspector Safety

By deploying cameras at the 179 high risk flagged worksites, SafeWork NSW directly addressed the highest risk environments. Research from other sectors suggests BWCs reduce complaints and aggression by 2040%, signalling likely improvements in site safety for inspectors.

Stronger Enforcement with Clear Penalties

With video evidence in hand, SafeWork NSW is better positioned to prosecute offenders. Individual threats or assaults are now backed by clear footage; businesses face fines of up to AU$365,595. The reliability of evidence improves conviction rates and accelerates case outcomes.

Faster, More Efficient Case Preparation

Prior to this implementation, inspectors relied on written notes and witness statements, which are often contested. The combined m-View/Altitude system uploads, stores and provides chain of custody workflows, reducing case prep time by up to 30%.

Increased Inspector Confidence

With over a million Australian workers reporting workplace violence, confidence and personal safety are critical for inspectors. Equipping them with BWCs delivers protection, visibility and assurance.

Culture Change and Long-Term Deterrence

As the system embeds, businesses understand that inspections are transparent and recorded, shifting behaviour on worksites from potentially aggressive behaviour to respectful interactions. Over time, fewer businesses are expected to be flagged high risk and will be supporting safer work environments across NSW.

Equipping inspectors with m-View Body-Worn Cameras and the Altitude Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS), SafeWork NSW has strengthened not just enforcement, but inspector wellbeing and workplace safety across the state.
