All construction projects over $250K need a site-specific WHS Management Plan to ensure processes are in place to reduce health and safety risks.
The WHS Management Plan has been updated to align with Safe Work Australia's Model Code of Practice: Construction work.
The language has been refined to be clearer about the legal and other requirements that must be followed on site.
Actions
Projects with more than 3 months left must update the WHSMP and appendices by 30 April 2025.
Projects with less than 3 months should review the amendment register and make any relevant updates to the current plan.
Team HSE Managers
