What This Service Involves

  • Reviewing PHMPs against legislation, technical standards, recognised frameworks and industry guidance
  • Assessing the practical application of controls
  • Reviewing risk assessments and control measures
  • Identifying gaps between documented controls and field execution
  • Testing whether plans are understandable and usable by those who rely on them
  • Supporting updates to technical documentation and governance arrangements

What's at Stake

Principal hazards carry catastrophic potential. If PHMPs are incomplete, unclear or poorly implemented, the organisation may face serious safety exposure, regulatory action, operational disruption and personal accountability risks for officers and duty holders.

Expected Outcomes

  • More robust PHMPs
  • Stronger alignment between technical standards, legislation and site practice
  • Clearer control requirements
  • Improved confidence in principal hazard management
  • Better evidence for governance and assurance
