The policy and plan govern the system; the register, procedures and registers are written for this industry from the hazard content we already hold for it.
✓The hazard register covers 7 activities: material receipt, storage and handling; cutting, grinding and material preparation; fit-up, tacking, purging and assembly; welding - TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) on stainless steel and high alloy; post-weld cleaning, pickling, passivation and finishing; gas, consumable and chemical handling and storage and more.
✓Editable Microsoft Word throughout, with your business name, ABN, sites and responsible people written in.
A WHS management plan is the document a council tender panel, a principal contractor or an insurer asks for before your SWMS: the policy, the responsibilities, the way hazards are found and controlled, and the registers that prove the system runs. A generic plan names none of the work food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and cleanroom fabricators actually do.
The hazard register is drawn from our stainless steel risk assessment: 60 hazards across 7 activities, each with its consequence and starting rating, and 507 controls ranked on the hierarchy of control.
The plan is authored to order for your business by a Certified Industrial Hygienist and quoted within one business day. When the pack for this industry is released it will be sold here as an editable Word download.

A sample of the 60 hazards in the stainless steel register, with the consequence and, where our calculator rates it, the starting risk given by a Certified Industrial Hygienist before any controls are counted.
Crush injuries, multiple fractures, fatality. Vehicle and mobile plant incidents are consistently among the leading mechanisms of work-related fatality in Australia. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Load dropped onto a person: crush injuries, multiple fractures, fatality. Sling angle is the most common miscalculation, because working load limit falls sharply as the included angle opens up. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Entanglement and degloving, amputation of fingers and hands, severe lacerations; a workpiece drawn into the gap between wheel and work rest can shatter the wheel and eject fragments at lethal speed. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Crush injuries and fatality; damage to the assembly and adjacent plant. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Rapidly developing workshop fire, burns, loss of premises and stock, business interruption. Process Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Workshop fire, flash fire, explosion of a closed vessel, severe burns, fatality, loss of premises and stock. Process Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Zinc fume causing metal fume fever, lead from old paint triggering lead process duties including notification and biological monitoring, cadmium from plating, and isocyanates from two-pack coatings. None of these are controlled by the arrangements assessed here, and carbon contamination also destroys the corrosion resistance of the stainless. Occupational Hygiene · inherent risk 4C.
Hexavalent chromium and nickel released at high rate in a very fine, deeply respirable form; ozone and nitrogen dioxide causing airway injury and delayed pulmonary oedema; arc eye and skin burn; noise-induced hearing loss. Plasma cutting is commonly the single highest-exposure task in a stainless workshop. Occupational Hygiene · inherent risk 4C.
Stainless fabricators serving food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and cleanroom clients work to a standard of cleanliness that shapes the whole floor. Material is received and segregated, cut and ground, fitted up, tacked and purged, then TIG and MIG welded on stainless and high alloy. After welding comes cleaning, pickling, passivation and finishing, with gases, consumables and chemicals handled and stored throughout. A plan for this workshop has to reflect that finishing chemistry and the alloys involved.
The hazard and risk register for this trade holds 60 hazards and 507 controls. Plasma cutting is commonly the highest-exposure task in a stainless shop, releasing hexavalent chromium and nickel in a very fine respirable form along with ozone, nitrogen dioxide, arc radiation and noise. Coated, galvanised, plated or unknown material entering the workshop brings zinc, lead, cadmium and isocyanates, and it destroys the corrosion resistance of the product too. Forklift and crane movement, dropped loads, fixed plant, toppling assemblies and hot work fires complete the leading list.
A generic construction WHS plan has nothing to say about hexavalent chromium from a plasma table, about the purge gas used in fit-up, or about pickling and passivation as chemical processes. It treats every material as the same steel. For a stainless workshop, that means the exposures that matter most for long-term health would not appear in the plan at all.
Clients in food, dairy and pharmaceutical sites are used to auditing suppliers, and they will usually open the signed policy and then the hazard register to see how chromium and nickel exposure is handled. The plan gives plasma cutting and coated material their own entries with ratings and required controls, so the reviewer can see the thinking rather than a generic fume line.
Because these are health hazards, reviewers also look for how exposure is followed up over time and where health monitoring sits in the programme. A principal contractor installing your equipment on its site will read the contractor section on prequalification, induction and supervision, and insurers tend to check the emergency plan and the hot work controls. The tender cover sheet shows each panel where its question is answered, which saves both sides a round of clarification.
A dairy or pharmaceutical client runs a supplier audit and asks for your WHS management plan, your chemical register and evidence of how you control chromium exposure. If all you can send is a set of SWMS and a few safety data sheets, the audit finding goes against you, and a supplier with a documented system is placed ahead of you on the approved list.
Inside the workshop, the problem is usually quieter. Someone plasma cuts thick stainless for hours in a corner with weak extraction, or a length of galvanised carbon steel is cut on the same bench as food-grade sheet. Nobody is hurt that day, but when a worker later reports breathing problems or skin irritation from pickling paste, you are asked what the procedure was and whether anyone assessed the exposure.
When a notifiable incident does happen, such as a flash fire from spatter near solvent-soaked rags, you will be asked for the risk assessment, the training record and the last inspection of the area. Without a plan and its registers, you are left explaining good intentions with nothing on paper to support them.

A WHS management plan supports your due diligence; holding one is not compliance in itself. You must run the system it describes — consult your workers, put the controls in place, keep the registers current and review the plan after any incident or change. Exposure monitoring and health monitoring, where the register calls for them, are work for an occupational hygienist and a registered medical practitioner.
