WHS management System Report

Introduction

A Work Health and Safety Management Plan can assist principal contractors to manage their workplace health and safety obligations according to the WHS Act 2011. The principal contractor for a construction project must prepare a written Work Health and Safety Management Plan for the workplace before work on the project commences.

The plan includes:

  • 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 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 are also responsible to ensure that the relevant people are informed of the revisions.

Implementation

  • Management review including internal and external auditing

Consultation and implementation partners require the sharing of relevant information with Business or store managers on matters which may affect health, safety and welfare with workers. It also requires that they are given the opportunity to express their views and opinions so that these can be taken into account when decisions about the health, safety and welfare of persons at work are being made. Communication is the sharing of information, policies, procedures, etc. and should be a two-way process. For this reason, it is important to establish some mechanisms which suit the business, to allow for regular communication on work health and safety.

Performance indicators are derived as outlined by the WHS Planning Guidelines to monitor the achievement of WHS objectives and targets. Also, additional performance indicators may be established for the Australian Hardware to measure WHS performance.
