WHS-PR-27

Management of Change Procedure Template

Description

The WHS-PR-27 Management of Change Procedure helps Australian businesses plan, record, review, communicate and manage safe work when introducing modifications to their operations. Change within a workplace can often introduce new hazards or alter existing ones. This template provides a structured process to identify these potential changes, assess the risks involved, and implement appropriate control measures so far as is reasonably practicable. It supports organisations in documenting the decision-making process to ensure that modifications to equipment, processes, personnel or organisational structures do not negatively impact health and safety. By using this procedure, businesses can facilitate clear communication with employees regarding upcoming changes and the associated safety requirements. This document assists leadership teams to systematically track and review the progress of operational adjustments to maintain a safe working environment. It is suitable for a wide range of industries across Australia that need a practical framework to manage the risks associated with dynamic work environments. The business should review and tailor this template to its own work, risks and legal obligations.
