Workplace Health and Safety Management Plans - Newcastle, Hunter and Port Stephens

Practical, compliant management plans for health, WHS, and hazardous materials — tailored to your project and regulatory obligations.

We work with developers, builders, and government contractors to deliver clear, audit-ready documentation that satisfies SafeWork NSW, local councils, and Tier 1 client requirements.

Health and Hygiene Management Plans (HHMP)

Our HHMPs identify and manage health hazards that pose risks to workers and nearby residents — from airborne contaminants and dust, to noise, vibration, and hazardous chemical exposure.

Each HHMP includes:

  • Silica dust and RCS risk assessments

  • Asbestos and lead exposure controls

  • Noise, vibration, and diesel exhaust mitigation

  • Chemical management procedures

  • Health monitoring programs and PPE requirements

  • Site-specific hygiene monitoring recommendations

Our plans follow SafeWork NSW legislation and Codes of Practice, and are tailored to construction, remediation, demolition, and industrial sites across the Newcastle region.

WHS Management Plans (WHSMP)

Under the WHS Regulation 2017, a WHSMP is mandatory for construction projects exceeding $250,000. We develop clear, site-specific WHS plans that meet legislative requirements and support safety from planning to delivery.

Our WHSMPs cover:

  • WHS responsibilities and communication protocols

  • Subcontractor engagement and training

  • Emergency preparedness and incident response

  • Risk management and high-risk work protocols

  • Integration of Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)

We provide fast turnaround for both private and government-funded works in Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Maitland, and beyond.

Hazardous Materials Management Plans (HMMP)

HMMPs are essential when working with or near asbestos, lead paint, PCBs, and other hazardous materials. These are often required for council DA submissions, demolition approvals, or industrial upgrades.

Our HMMPs include:

  • Hazardous materials identification and risk assessment

  • Asbestos sampling strategy and register preparation

  • Control measures and licensed contractor engagement

  • Waste tracking and disposal protocols

  • Post-removal air monitoring and clearance inspections

We support projects throughout Port Stephens, Cessnock, Singleton, and surrounding LGAs.
