Model Code of Practice: Managing the risks of plant in the workplace (guidance only unless adopted in the relevant jurisdiction).
Model Code of Practice: Construction work (guidance only unless adopted in the relevant jurisdiction).
Model Code of Practice: Excavation work (guidance only unless adopted in the relevant jurisdiction); it identifies graders as powered mobile plant and requires traffic-management arrangements where plant may interact with pedestrians or other plant.
Code of Practice: Moving plant on construction sites (guidance only unless adopted in the relevant jurisdiction); work in an area with moving plant is high risk construction work and requires a site-specific SWMS.
