31 March / Update
Work Health and Safety Management Plan / Version 16

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

  • Coordinate the update of the plan and all appendix documents in consultation with the project team
  • Ensure proper archiving of superseded plans (2 years following project completion)

Project Manager

  • Ensure plans are updated within the 3 month period and approved for use

Project Teams

  • Update the WHS Management Plan with the Team HSE Manager
  • Communicate the update to subcontractors 
  • Maintain updated hard copy of WHS Management Plan on site 

Team Leaders 

  • Where the team does not have a Team HSE Manager, the Team Leader is required to oversee this process and all updates

Further updates

The following guidance material has also been updated. A full list of amendments can be found here.
