Civil Works WHS Management Plan

A WHS management plan written for Queensland civil construction projects, laid out so every item the WHS Regulation requires of a principal contractor has its own part. It suits civil contractors, developers and head contractors on earthworks, roads, drainage, sewer and water mains, services and subdivisions, and any civil contractor who wants a site plan for its own project. It points to your policies, SWMS, permits and registers by name instead of repeating them.

What Is Included In Our Civil Works WHS Management Plan?
