Plant Risk Assessments FAQs

1. What is a Plant Risk Assessment?

A Plant Risk Assessment identifies hazards associated with machinery and equipment and recommends controls to minimise risks to workers.

2. Is a Plant Risk Assessment required?

Yes. Australian WHS legislation requires PCBUs to manage risks associated with plant and equipment in the workplace.

3. When should Plant Risk Assessments be reviewed?

Assessments should be reviewed after modifications, incidents, changes to work practices, or periodically as part of your WHS management system.

4. Who is responsible for conducting a Plant Risk Assessment?

Under Australian WHS legislation, the Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) is responsible for ensuring plant risks are identified and managed. While a PCBU may engage experienced safety consultants to complete the assessment, they remain responsible for implementing and maintaining appropriate control measures.

5. How often should a Plant Risk Assessment be reviewed?

A Plant Risk Assessment should be reviewed whenever the plant is modified, a new hazard is identified, an incident occurs, operating procedures change, or at regular intervals as part of your workplace health and safety management system.
