A Risk Assessment Action Plan is a critical workplace health and safety document required under Australian WHS legislation to systematically identify, assess, and control workplace risks. This document is essential when organizations need to demonstrate compliance with their duty of care obligations and should be developed following significant workplace changes, incidents, or as part of regular safety reviews. The plan must align with both federal and state-specific WHS requirements and typically includes risk matrices, control measures, implementation timelines, and responsible parties. It serves as both a compliance document and a practical guide for implementing risk control measures, making it vital for organizations operating in high-risk industries or managing complex operational environments.
