Safety At Work, Home & In Community

This month we meet Whitsunday Chamber of Commerce and Industry member Emma Luxton who launched Luxton Safety & Compliance Australia (LSCA) this year.

After years working in safety and compliance operations, Emma wanted to create something that aligned more deeply with her passion for workplace and home safety.

LSCA specialises in safety and compliance services and has partnered with global firm offering to offer assurance, risk management, safety audits, assessments, fire safety adviser services, and integrated management systems.

“Safety is more than just a workplace issue—it’s a responsibility we carry into our homes and communities. That's why LSCA is committed to delivering services that prioritise safety, protect employees, and safeguard their families,” says Emma.

Since establishing LSCA, she has seen exciting management software and mobile apps that are transforming how businesses track, report, and resolve real-time safety concerns.

They have also been keeping up with changing regulations and educating businesses on the importance of investing in safety, even when budgets are tight.

Emma’s advice to other business owners include:

   • Invest in safety – It’s not just about meeting legal requirements; it’s about genuinely caring for your people and ensuring the long-term success of your business.
   • Adapt and evolve – The world of business and regulations is constantly changing. Stay flexible and be prepared to pivot when necessary.
   • Build strong relationships – Trust is everything, whether it's with your team, clients, or local community. Building solid relationships can make all the difference in the success and growth of your business.

Emma is an enthusiastic member of the Whitsundays Chamber. She says the networking opportunities have been invaluable, and the support from the Chamber helps her team stay informed on local and regional developments. What she enjoys most is the chance to be part of a community that cares—especially when it comes to supporting families and safety.
