For Schools, Aged Care & Councils Across Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat & The Surf Coast

What Are You Walking Past Every Day?

Uneven paths, raised joints and damaged surfaces develop slowly — which is exactly why they're easy to stop noticing. Tell us what you're seeing and we'll give you a call to talk it through.

No obligation — a quick call, not a sales pitch. A service of Laroi Concrete Cutting.

Who It's For

Falls, trips and slips hit hardest in three sectors — and that's where Safe Path already works.

28%

Schools & Early Learning

Campuses, entrances and playgrounds see hundreds of students, staff and visitors every single day — easy to become the kind of place hazards get overlooked.

18%

Aged Care & Health

Reduced mobility means a small rise underfoot matters more here than most places. Worth catching early rather than later.

12%

Councils & Government

Libraries, civic centres and public walkways — the kind of multi-site portfolio Safe Path works well across.

The Problem

Small Hazards. Easy To Walk Past.

Every facility has paths, entrances, ramps and courtyards that move and change over time. Concrete shifts. Tree roots lift slabs. Joints wear unevenly. None of it happens overnight — which is exactly why it's easy to miss.

10mm

That's often all it takes for a step in the surface to be treated as a serious trip hazard — less than a thumb wide, or about a stack of four $2 coins.

A quick call is often all it takes to work out what's worth a closer look — not just the one hazard you noticed.

Take A Fresh Look
How It Works

One Simple Process.

From first walk-through to finished works, Safe Path follows the same four steps every time.

01

Identify

We walk your pedestrian areas and inspect for visible surface hazards — joints, cracks, edges and transitions.

02

Document

Hazards are recorded with location, photos, a description and a recommended action.

03

Rectify

Where suitable, we get to work — grinding, levelling, cutting, removal or minor concrete works.

04

Report

We document what was completed — including before-and-after photos — for your files.

From inspection to rectification — one team, one process.
More Than A List Of Problems

Safe Path sits inside Laroi Concrete Cutting, an experienced concrete cutting and construction business. So when we find a hazard, we're not just handing you a report and walking away — we can grind it, cut it, remove it or rebuild it, often with the same team on the same visit.

Common Questions

FAQ

No. The initial call — and a site visit, if that's the right next step — are both free, with no obligation. If you'd like us to carry out rectification work, we'll give you a clear, upfront price before anything is booked in.

Both. Where it's safe and practical, we grind, cut, remove or patch the hazard on the same visit — not just hand you a report and walk away.

We service Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and the Surf Coast — schools, aged care providers, councils and commercial sites right across these regions. Not sure if you're in range? Get in touch and we'll let you know.

Yes. Safe Path is a focused, dedicated inspection your team doesn't always have time to run — a second set of eyes on one thing: the surfaces beneath everyone's feet.

Yes — once we've worked together on a site, we can talk about Safe Path returning on a schedule to catch new hazards before they build up. That's a conversation for after the first job, once we know your site.

Safe Path is delivered by Laroi Concrete Cutting, an experienced concrete cutting, drilling and construction business based in Geelong.
