Consultation and subcontractor WHS in practice
Strong systems connect worker voice and subcontractor controls to work on site.
Toolbox talks and prequalification records are not enough on their own. Stronger systems show that consultation arrangements are agreed, workers participate and subcontractor WHS is managed from procurement and mobilisation through SWMS review, field verification and follow-up.
Worker voice
Clear decisions
Work as done
Closed actions

Inside the workbook
Move from a policy on paper to proof on a live project.
The workbook is organised around the work your team needs to do, not a collection of disconnected forms.
Start
See where the evidence chain is holding and where it breaks
Define
Make roles, decisions and escalation paths explicit
Test
Check consultation, mobilisation, SWMS and field controls together
Prove
Trace recent work, prepare for audit conversations and act on the gaps
Accreditation readiness
Evidence should connect expectation, participation, verification and follow-up.
Start with the systems and records you already have. Trace one active work package from procurement through consultation, mobilisation, SWMS review, induction, field verification and action close-out.
This resource supports OFSC accreditation readiness. It does not replace State or Territory WHS/OHS legislation and does not guarantee accreditation.
