What is a Work Health & Safety (WHS) Management Plan?
A WHS Management Plan is a mandatory document prepared by the Principal Contractor before commencing work on construction projects valued at $250,000 or more. It outlines how health and safety will be managed on-site, ensuring compliance with the Work Health and Safety Act and Regulations and protecting all workers.
A comprehensive Construction WHS Management Plan includes:
- Names, positions, and responsibilities of personnel assigned health and safety duties
- Workplace arrangements for consultation, cooperation, and coordination with others who have WHS responsibilities
- Procedures for managing health and safety incidents
- Site-specific safety rules
- Communication processes to ensure all workers are informed of safety rules
- Systems for collecting, assessing, monitoring, and reviewing Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)
Who Needs a WHS Management Plan?
A WHS Management Plan is essential for:
- Principal contractors
- Commercial and government builders
- High-value developments and major renovations
- Projects requiring Browz pre-qualification or other compliance standards
Having a compliant plan ensures legal obligations are met while supporting safer and more efficient project delivery.
Additional Principal Contractor Duties
In addition to the core plan, the WHS Management Plan must address:
- Risk management and ongoing compliance with the WHS Act and Regulations
- General workplace facilities and emergency procedures
- First aid provisions and personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Management of airborne contaminants and hazardous atmospheres
- Control of flammable or combustible substances

The WHS Management Plan must be readily accessible to workers and stakeholders and kept up-to-date throughout the project.
