HEALTH AND SAFETY WORK

A Work Health and Safety Management Plan can assist principal contractors to manage their
workplace health and safety obligations.

A principal contractor must prepare a construction safety plan before construction work starts.

The plan must state:

 the names, positions and health and safety responsibilities of all persons at the workplace
whose positions or roles involve specific health and safety responsibilities in connection
with the project
 the arrangements in place, between any persons conducting a business or undertaking at
the workplace where the construction project is being undertaken, for consultation,
cooperation and the coordination of activities in relation to compliance with their duties
 the arrangements in place for managing any work health and safety incidents that occur
 any site-specific health and safety rules, and the arrangements for ensuring that all
persons at the workplace are informed of these rules
 the arrangements for the collection and any assessment, monitoring and review of safe
work method statements at the workplace.

The plan must be written so it is easy to understand, signed and dated by the principal contractor.
It must be available for the length of the project. If a notifiable incident occurs in connection
with the construction project, the person must keep the WHS management plan for at least two
years after the incident occurs.

The principal contractor must sign and date safe work method statements that have been received
and keep them with the plan, as well as monitor their implementation.

The principal contractor cannot allow work to start unless:

 the plan has been discussed with or a copy given to all relevant people
 the plan is available or readily available for inspection.

The principal contractor for a construction project must review and, as necessary, revise the
WHS management plan if there are changes in how risks will be managed. The principal
contractors is also responsible to ensure that the relevant people are informed of the revisions.
