An effective SMS helps organisations:
- Establish workplace safety policies and objectives

- Support continuous improvement across projects and operations
Our team can assist members in developing practical systems tailored to the size, structure and complexity of their business.
Construction WHS site safety management plans are essential tools for managing workplace risks and demonstrating compliance on site.
Under WA workplace safety legislation, builders acting as the main contractor must prepare a WHS management plan for projects where five or more people are, or are likely to be, working on site at the same time.
Even where not legally required, management plans are strongly recommended as evidence of proactive risk management and safe work practices.
Our advisers can assist members in preparing and implementing practical site-specific management plans.
Strong safety culture starts with leadership, knowledge and accountability.
Master Builders offers safety mentoring support designed to help businesses build internal capability, improve safety awareness and support ongoing workforce development.
Mentoring can provide workers and supervisors with practical guidance, industry knowledge and support that contributes to safer and more productive workplaces.
Where high-risk construction work is being undertaken, Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) are required to ensure activities are completed safely and in accordance with legislative obligations.
A SWMS outlines:
- The high-risk activity being undertaken
- Potential hazards and risks
- Control measures required
- Safe work procedures for the task
Our WHS specialists can assist members with understanding SWMS requirements and assist in developing practical documentation that supports compliance and safer site operations.
Site safety inspections and audits help businesses identify workplace risks, improve compliance and strengthen safety performance.
These inspections provide a broader review of your workplace safety systems, procedures and processes to help identify gaps and improve ongoing safety management.
3rd party audits provide independent evaluations of a project’s Work Health and Safety (WHS) compliance and management systems. They help prevent incidents, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce liability by providing an objective assessment of hazards and risks. These services demonstrate a proactive commitment to workplace safety and continuous improvement.
