Plan Safe. Work Safe. Home Safe, With Taskoon 〰️

At Taskoon, safety isn’t an add-on — it’s at the core of every task, every booking, and every interaction.
Whether you’re a Tasker, a Resident, or a Business, we are committed to creating a safe, reliable, and compliant work environment across Australia.

Our safety framework aligns with Australian Work Health & Safety (WHS) laws, ensuring every task is performed professionally, responsibly, and with care.

Our Commitment to You

1. Verified, Trained, and Compliant Taskers

Every Tasker on Taskoon goes through:

  • Identity verification (KYC – ID + selfie match)

  • Background checks where required

  • Category-specific safety training

  • Mandatory onboarding assessment

  • Annual refresher vetting and training

Only Taskers who meet our compliance and standards are allowed to accept tasks.

2. Pre-Start Safety Checks

Before starting any task, Taskers must:

  • Complete a Pre-Start Safety Checklist to complete the TRA (Task Risk Assessment)

  • Assess the environment for hazards

  • Ensure tools and equipment are safe to use

  • Confirm they understand the task scope

  • Identify high-risk activities requiring a SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement)

If conditions are unsafe, the Tasker has full authority to stop work.

Task Risk Assessment

3. High-Risk Work & SWMS

For any activity classified as high-risk under WHS guidelines, Taskers are required to:

  • Complete an approved Safe Work Method Statement

  • Follow the outlined controls

  • Report any deviations or risks immediately

Taskoon provides guidance within the app to ensure compliance every time.

4. Right to Stop Work

If the Tasker identifies:

  • Unsafe conditions

  • Aggressive behaviour

  • Hazardous equipment

  • Weather-related risks

  • Lack of access or unsafe workspace

They have the right to pause or stop the task, report it, and prevent harm. No task is more important than your safety.

5. Hazard, Incident & Dispute Reporting

Taskers and Users can instantly report:

  • Hazards

  • Near misses

  • Injuries

  • Unsafe conditions

  • Disputes

Reports can be submitted through:

  • Incident/Hazard Reporting Form (Tasker app)

  • Taskoon Support Centre

  • SOS Button (emergencies)

All reports are reviewed by Taskoon’s Safety & Operations Team.

6. Secure Payments & Fair Processes

Our Escrow payment model ensures:

  • Users only pay for time worked

  • Taskers are paid fairly and weekly

  • Automatic refunds for cancellations, no-show, or incomplete tasks

  • Partial refunds for early completion

  • Full dispute resolution support

Safety extends to fairness and transparency.

7. Post-Task Quality & Safety Check

After completing a task, Taskers must:

  • Complete a Post-Task Safety & Quality Checklist

  • Confirm the task area is left clean, safe, and restored

  • Document any issues or hazards

  • Submit required photos if needed

Users receive a summary to ensure full transparency.

Residents and Businesses must:

  • Provide safe access to the work area

  • Ensure pets are secured (if applicable)

  • Avoid requesting unsafe or illegal tasks

  • Disclose known hazards

  • Communicate clearly and respectfully

Safety is a shared responsibility.

9. Emergency Support

If a Tasker feels unsafe or requires urgent assistance:

    1. Alerts Taskoon Support

    2. Sends location to nominated emergency contact

    3. Provides immediate guidance
