Product Overview

The Tyre and Wheel Services WHS Management Plan is a practical, ready-to-use safety management document designed specifically for Australian tyre shops, mechanical workshops, fleet operators and mobile tyre service providers. It gives you a clear, structured framework to manage the unique risks associated with tyre fitting, wheel work and roadside breakdowns, while supporting strong work health and safety outcomes and WHS compliance.

Written by Australian WHS specialists with deep industry knowledge, this plan helps you move beyond generic safety documentation.
