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.
✓Built on the waterproofing pack's 10 control documents, including waterproofing Safe Work Method Statement; hazardous Chemical Risk Assessment — Membranes; SDS & Hazardous Chemical Register.
✓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 waterproofing contractors on balconies, wet areas, roofs, tanking and remedial work actually do.
The hazard register is drawn from our waterproofing compliance pack: 10 leading hazards, each with the control documents that answer it.
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 10 hazards in the waterproofing register, with the consequence and, where our calculator rates it, the starting risk given by a Certified Industrial Hygienist before any controls are counted.
Task-specific SWMS covering internal wet-area, balcony, roof, tanking and remedial waterproofing. Maps the high-risk construction work to WHS Regulation s291 (work at height, confined space, flammable atmosphere), with site-specific hazards, hierarchy-of-controls measures and sign-on. Aligned to AS 3740 and AS 4654.
Structured hazardous-chemical risk assessment for waterproofing membrane systems under WHS Regulation Chapter 7 — polyurethane and polyurea (isocyanates), epoxy resins and amine hardeners, solvent-based primers and bituminous products. Exposure controls, SDS linkage and PPE/RPE selection.
Editable Safety Data Sheet and hazardous chemical register for the waterproofing products carried on site, with manifest quantities, hazard classes and current-SDS tracking as required under WHS Regulation Chapter 7.
Ready-to-deliver toolbox talks for waterproofing crews covering membrane chemistry and skin/respiratory hazards, working at heights on balconies and roofs, confined-space entry, silica from substrate prep, and correct PPE/RPE — with attendance and consultation records.
Fall-prevention risk assessment for balcony, podium and roof waterproofing above 2 m (WHS Regulation s291). Edge protection, EWP and harness controls, exclusion zones and rescue considerations, with a fall-prevention plan template.
Pre-start and pre-use inspection checklists for the plant used in waterproofing work — elevating work platforms, concrete grinders and scabblers, LPG torching equipment and mixing plant — with defect tagging and daily records.
Confined-space entry permit and risk assessment for lift pits, tanks, basements and enclosed shells (WHS Regulation reg 66/67, AS 2865). Atmospheric testing and monitoring records, isolation, standby-person and entry-supervisor roles, and permit close-out.
Emergency and rescue plan for confined-space waterproofing entries: rescue method and equipment, trained personnel, communication protocol, retrieval systems and emergency-services interface — the non-negotiable companion to the entry permit.
A waterproofing crew moves between internal wet areas, balconies and podiums, roofs, below-ground tanking and remedial work, often on several sites in a week. The work is chemical-heavy: polyurethane and polyurea membranes that carry isocyanates, epoxy resins and amine hardeners, solvent-based primers and bituminous products. Substrate preparation with grinders and scabblers raises silica dust, LPG torching is used on some systems, and crews work from EWPs, near unprotected edges, and inside lift pits, tanks, basements and enclosed shells.
The documents we hold for this trade show where the register concentrates: a hazardous chemical risk assessment for membranes, an SDS and hazardous chemical register, an isocyanate health monitoring program, a silica exposure control plan, a working-at-heights risk assessment, plant and EWP pre-use checklists, and a confined space entry permit with its rescue plan. The work is high risk construction work under s291 of the WHS Regulation where it involves work at height, confined spaces or a flammable atmosphere.
A generic construction plan written for a builder misses what makes this trade different. It rarely carries isocyanate health monitoring, a chemical register kept to the products on the van, silica from substrate grinding, or confined space rescue for tanking inside a pit.
A principal contractor prequalifying a waterproofer reads the signed WHS policy and then asks three things: how the crew handles membrane chemicals, how it works at height, and what it does in a confined space. The plan answers with the chemical risk assessment and SDS register, the fall-prevention arrangements for balconies and roofs, and the entry permit and rescue plan.
Isocyanates and silica are health hazards, so reviewers look for health monitoring, not only respirators on the checklist. The plan shows the isocyanate health monitoring program, the silica exposure controls and where the records sit. Contractor management matters when you bring in labour hire or subcontract a job, and the emergency plan and drill record cover a fall, a chemical splash and a confined space retrieval. The tender cover sheet shows the builder where each prequalification question is answered.
The usual first cost is a job you do not start. A builder's prequalification portal asks for your WHS management plan and chemical register, and you upload a single SWMS. The portal flags you as incomplete and the package goes to another crew. On a larger site, the principal's induction stops when you cannot show confined space arrangements for the lift pit you were engaged to tank.
On the job, the gaps appear where the work changes. A crew moves from a wet area to a roof without edge protection being checked. An apprentice sprays polyurethane in a basement with the wrong respirator. Someone enters a tank to finish a detail with no standby person. Each of those tasks needed a written procedure and training record, and without them your supervisor cannot show what the crew was told.
After a notifiable incident, such as a fall from a balcony, a worker overcome in a pit or a serious reaction to a membrane, the regulator asks for the SWMS, the chemical register, the health monitoring records and the training register. A plan with kept registers supports your due diligence and shows what your crew had in place. Without it, the answers depend on who remembers what.

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.
