Additionally, the principal contractor must regularly review the WHS management plan to ensure its currency and inform relevant parties of any updates.
For construction projects with a cost of $250,000 or more, a written work health and safety management plan must be prepared for the workplace by the principal contractor. This plan should be in place before commencing work on the construction project. It should encompass measures to eliminate risks or minimise workplace hazards to the extent reasonably practicable.
While it might not be necessary for all workers to be familiar with the entire WHS management plan, they must be informed about the relevant sections that pertain to their specific tasks. A Site Safety Plan, also known as Site Safety Management Plans (SSMP), is mandated by law for construction sites. Safety Above Consultants can develop customised Site Safety Plans that adhere to the requirements of different states, the Australian Government, and AS4801 standards. These plans can be tailored to cover various aspects of your project, from specific components to the entire undertaking.
“The principal contractor must ensure that all individuals engaged in construction work on the project are made aware of the WHS plan’s content relevant to their work and their right to inspect the plan.”
The WHS management plan must be regularly reviewed and, if necessary, revised to remain current and applicable to the construction project’s stage.
The WHS management plan, along with any revisions, must be retained and made available to individuals involved in the construction work for inspection until the project’s completion and for at least two years after any notifiable incident occurs.
