Workplace Health and Safety Management Plans

In essence, a WHS management plan should outline the principal contractor's WHS policies, training, risk management process, subcontractors management, injury management and continuous monitoring and review. The principal contractor must ensure that everyone working on the project is made aware of the WHS management plan's content and their right to inspect the plan before they commence work on the project. The principal contractor must also review the WHS management plan to ensure it is kept up to date and that all relevant people are informed of any amendments.
