Why buy the manual
You get a manual written for your industry, not a generic template with the name changed. You don't need to pay a WHS consultant $5,000 to $10,000 to write your system, or spend $3,000 or more a year on WHS software. Pay once, keep it and use it as your business grows. No subscription and no ongoing fees.
Need SWMS, SOPs and toolbox talks too? The Building & Construction WHS Management System includes this manual plus an induction handbook, 114 SWMS, 20 SOPs and 54 toolbox talks, and the management plans you get asked for on site.
Working in Victoria?
Victoria still runs under the OHS Act 2004, so the Victorian OHS edition is included. If you work across state borders, you're covered on both sides.
How personalisation works
After you order, you'll download the full manual straight away. Send us your completed business details form and logo, and we'll return every document personalised within 1 to 2 business days. Need it today? Same-day personalisation is available for $199, as long as we have your form and logo by 2pm AEST.
Common questions
Which edition do I use?
Use the WHS edition in every state and territory except Victoria. Use the OHS edition for work in Victoria. If you work in both, you've got both.
Is this right for a small building business?
Yes. It suits a sole trader through to a business with a full team. Remove any procedures that don't apply to your work.
