Residential Building Site Safety Management Plan

A WHS management plan for a new house, duplex, townhouse or unit project, written for the builder who is the principal contractor. It sets out the $250,000 threshold and what a builder under it still has to do, gives every item WHS Regulation s 309 requires its own part, and follows the build from site establishment to handover with the housing fall rules, trenches, cranes, roofs, silica and neighbours that this kind of site brings. Policies, forms and registers are named, not copied.
