The WorkSafe Plan is for organisations with workplaces under the jurisdiction of Western Australian safety and health legislation. The WorkSafe Plan may be used as a management tool for organisations outside the jurisdiction of WorkSafe, but those organisations are not eligible for Certificates of Achievement issued by the Department of Commerce, WorkSafe Division. This guide is for use by assessors and others who are familiar with how to conduct a workplace assessment and apply the WorkSafe Plan rating method.
