Strathfield Apartments: CPCCBC5003A WHS Audit Checklist

This document presents a comprehensive WHS (Work Health and Safety) audit checklist designed for a construction project, specifically for AKM Developments Limited's Strathfield apartments. The checklist, prepared by a student, is structured to be used by a WHS committee for site inspections and audits. It includes sections for project details, checks for required items such as risk assessments, evacuation plans, emergency response plans, inductions, and safety committee information. The checklist also covers aspects like sheds, protection and hoardings, plant and equipment. The audit results are classified into minor, major and non-compliance and the checklist provides space for recording audit comments and specifying corrective actions. The assignment adheres to the CPCCBC5003A unit requirements, focusing on the planning of on-site medium-rise building or construction work and includes a bibliography of relevant sources.
