Product Overview
This comprehensive Principal Hazard Management Plan (PHMP) template is specifically designed for Australian mining and resources operations. It provides a fully structured, legally informed framework to identify, assess and control principal mining hazards, while supporting robust work health and safety outcomes across surface, underground and processing environments.
Developed by WHS specialists with deep industry experience, this document helps you move beyond generic risk registers to a systematic, auditable approach to managing high-consequence events such as ground failure, inundation, fire and explosion, mobile plant interactions and hazardous atmospheres.
The PHMP is written in clear, practical language and aligns with Australian WHS legislation and mining-specific requirements. It can be quickly adapted to your site, saving time and reducing the burden of starting safety documentation from scratch.
Key Features
- Structured sections covering purpose, scope, definitions, risk methodology and governance.
- Detailed treatment of typical principal hazards in mining and resources, including ground and strata failure, inundation, fire and explosion, mobile plant, hazardous chemicals and airborne contaminants.
- Integrated hierarchy of control guidance, emphasising engineering and higher-order controls for high-consequence risks.
- Templates for Principal Hazard Registers and Critical Control Registers to support consistent WHS compliance and reporting.
- Clear role and responsibility allocations for officers, managers, supervisors, workers and HSRs.
- Embedded requirements for Trigger Action Response Plans (TARPs), permit to work systems and management of change.
- Comprehensive monitoring, audit, incident investigation and continuous improvement sections.
Benefits
- Strengthens work health and safety performance by focusing on catastrophic and multiple-fatality risk scenarios.
- Supports WHS compliance with Acts, Regulations, mining safety legislation and relevant codes of practice.
- Reduces the time and cost of developing principal hazard documentation from the ground up.
- Provides a clear, defensible framework for regulators, senior management and boards.
- Improves critical control management through defined performance standards and verification requirements.
- Enhances worker engagement via structured consultation and communication processes.
Who is this for?
- Mine managers, site senior executives and operations managers.
- WHS managers, safety advisors and health and safety representatives.
- Processing plant managers and maintenance superintendents.
- Consultants supporting mining and resources clients with safety documentation and systems.
- HR and compliance professionals responsible for governance and assurance.
Legislation & References
This Principal Hazard Management Plan template is informed by core Australian work health and safety laws, including WHS Acts and Regulations, mining safety legislation, and relevant Codes of Practice for ground control, inundation and inrush, hazardous chemicals, confined spaces, dusts and respirable crystalline silica. It is also aligned with recognised risk management standards, providing a strong foundation for both operational control and WHS compliance across the mining and resources sector.
