Product Overview
The Silica Control Plan is a comprehensive, ready-to-use WHS document designed specifically for Australian workplaces where respirable crystalline silica is a significant risk. It provides a clear, practical framework to identify, assess and control silica exposure across concrete and formwork, flooring and tiling, demolition, shopfitting and cabinet making, building and construction, civil construction and earthworks, and mining and resources operations.
Developed in line with current Australian work health and safety legislation and guidance, this plan helps you move beyond ad hoc controls and put a structured, defensible system in place. It is written in plain, practical language so supervisors, safety managers and workers can understand and apply it on site.
Key Features
- Detailed explanation of silica hazards and health risks, tailored to high-risk construction and resources activities.
- Step-by-step risk management process, from task identification through to review and continuous improvement.
- Clear hierarchy of control guidance, prioritising engineering controls such as water suppression, on-tool extraction and local exhaust ventilation.
- Task-specific control guidance for cutting and grinding, demolition, engineered stone, earthworks and mining operations.
- Structured sections on air monitoring, exposure assessment and health monitoring requirements.
- Practical checklists and template tables for risk registers, air monitoring logs and health monitoring records.
- Roles and responsibilities defined for PCBUs, supervisors, workers and WHS personnel to support robust WHS compliance.
Benefits
- Supports compliance with Australian work health and safety laws, exposure standards and Codes of Practice related to respirable crystalline silica.
- Reduces the likelihood of silicosis and other serious lung diseases by embedding effective, proven control measures.
- Saves time on safety documentation by providing a complete, structured Silica Control Plan you can adapt to each project or site.
- Improves consistency across projects, subcontractors and sites, reducing gaps and duplication in WHS documentation.
- Provides clear evidence of due diligence in the event of regulator enquiries, inspections or incidents.
Who is this for?
This Silica Control Plan is ideal for:
- Builders, civil contractors and demolition companies.
- Concrete, formwork, flooring and tiling contractors.
- Shopfitters, cabinet makers and benchtop fabricators, including those working with engineered stone.
- Mining and resources operators, quarries and crushing operations.
- Safety managers, project managers and site supervisors responsible for WHS compliance.
- HR and compliance teams seeking robust, standardised safety documentation across their business.
Legislation & References
This document has been developed with reference to current Australian WHS legislation, regulations and relevant Codes of Practice relating to respirable crystalline silica, airborne contaminants, health monitoring and risk management. It is designed to help you align your systems with regulator expectations, while still allowing for site-specific customisation. Integrating this Silica Control Plan into your broader work health and safety management system will strengthen your overall WHS compliance and provide a solid foundation for managing silica risks across all projects and operations.
