Site Inspection Report for WHS Management Plan Assessment

Site inspection report
The site inspection focuses on the implementation of risk controls used by contractors following the work health and safety (WHS) management
plan assessment. The intent of the site inspection is to benchmark the safety practices observed on site against the criteria contained in the
checklist. The Office of Industrial Relations understands that construction sites are continuously changing and vary greatly in size and complexity.
For this reason, it may not be possible for the accredited auditor (construction) to examine all plant and work practices for a particular project. It is
acceptable to review a sample of items and, based on the evidence that is available at the time, assess whether the undertaking conforms to the set
criteria.
