Work, Health & Safety Management Plan

Built in Canva, this 178 page Work, Health & Safety Management Plan is fully customisable and has been prepared to include a high level of detail, ensuring full compliance with WHS laws and relevant SafeWork Codes of Practice.

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, principal contractors for construction projects valued at $250,000 or more are required to prepare a written Work Health and Safety (WHS) Management Plan before commencing work.

This essential document serves to outline:

·       WHS policies and procedures

·       Training requirements

·       Risk management processes

·       High Risk Construction Work (HRCW)

·       Subcontractor management

·       Injury management

·       Ongoing monitoring and review strategies

It is the responsibility of the principal contractor to ensure all workers are informed of the WHS Management Plan, their rights to access it, and its contents before starting work. The plan must also be regularly reviewed and updated, with any changes communicated to all relevant personnel.

Our WHS Management Plan template is designed to help you meet your legal obligations and implement effective measures to eliminate or minimise workplace risks, ensuring a safer construction site for everyone involved.
