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 15 activities: timber receipt, yard and storage; cutting - linear, component and crosscut saws; truss and frame assembly; lifting, stacking and storing trusses and frames; dispatch and loading; maintenance and general plant 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 truss and wall frame plants and structural timber component manufacturers actually do.
The hazard register is drawn from our truss and frame risk assessment: 39 hazards across 15 activities, each with its consequence and starting rating, and 218 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 39 hazards in the truss and frame register, with the consequence and, where our calculator rates it, the starting risk given by a Certified Industrial Hygienist before any controls are counted.
Explosion rupturing the collector or silo, fireball, secondary explosion in the building, fatalities, loss of premises. Process Safety · inherent risk 5B.
Secondary explosion across the whole building, which in dust incidents causes most of the deaths and damage. Process Safety · inherent risk 5B.
Short, very high wood dust exposures for the cleaner and bystanders; the fine fraction most associated with disease. Occupational Hygiene · inherent risk 4D.
Crush injuries, multiple fractures, fatality. Mobile plant is consistently among the leading mechanisms of work-related death in Australia. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Crush injuries and fatality; struck-by injuries from recoiling strapping. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Crush injuries, amputation, fatality. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Nail penetration and crush injuries to hands. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
Crush injuries and fatality from falling or swinging loads. Safety · inherent risk 4C.
A truss and wall frame plant runs a continuous flow of timber: receipt into the yard, cutting on linear, component and crosscut saws, assembly on nailplate presses and frame nailers, lifting and stacking finished trusses and frames, then dispatch and loading onto trucks. Around that flow sit dust extraction and collection, treated timber waste, battery charging and LPG, engine exhaust and plant maintenance. The register behind this plan holds 39 hazards and 218 controls for that work.
The hazards with the most severe starting ratings are process safety ones. A dust explosion in the collector, filter unit, cyclone or silo can rupture the vessel and send a fireball into the building, and a secondary explosion from dust layers on beams and ledges is what causes most of the deaths and damage in dust incidents. Next come trucks, forklifts and sideloaders sharing the yard with pedestrians, timber packs toppling or strapping recoiling, nailplate roller and gantry presses, frame nailing machines, and overhead gantry cranes carrying trusses.
A generic construction plan is written for a building site that changes every few months. It says nothing about managing combustible dust in a collector, housekeeping to stop dust layers building up, guarding a gantry press, or separating sideloaders from people in a fixed yard.
A builder or developer buying your trusses and frames starts with the signed WHS policy, then looks for how you control the machinery and mobile plant their deliveries depend on. The plan answers that with the press and nailer procedures, the traffic management for the yard and the lifting controls for gantry cranes and stacking.
An insurer reads the dust collector and fire sections before anything else. The plan shows how settled dust is inspected and cleaned, how the extraction system is maintained, how treated timber waste and battery charging areas are managed and what the emergency plan says the crew does if the collector catches fire. Because wood dust, treated timber and engine exhaust are health hazards, the exposure assessment and health monitoring section shows who is assessed and how often.
When your crews deliver or install on site, the contractor section and the tender cover sheet point a principal contractor to where their prequalification questions are answered.
You bid for the frames on a council housing project and the prequalification is returned because the WHS management plan field is empty. A volume builder adds a supplier audit and your plant has procedures in people's heads but not on paper. Your delivery driver arrives at a principal contractor's site and cannot be inducted because nothing shows how loads are secured and lifted.
On your own floor, the risk is the event nobody planned for. A sideloader reverses into someone walking between timber packs. A fitter reaches into a gantry press during a jam without isolating it. Dust that has sat on the roof trusses for months is shaken loose by a small collector fire, and the building burns. Without a procedure behind the work, there is no record that anyone had thought it through.
After a serious injury, SafeWork NSW will ask what your system was and how you checked it was working. A plant with a current plan, inspection records and training registers can show its steps. A plant without one is left explaining from memory, and the plan is what supports your due diligence as an officer of the business.
If you operate, maintain or contract to these assets in NSW, this pack is written for your duties.
The Codes of Practice and Australian Standards these documents are measured against, and the legislation behind 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.
