As part of National Safe Work Month 2025, Week 3 focuses on controlling risks: one of the most important steps in workplace health and safety management. In the construction, tunnelling, demolition and infrastructure sectors, this includes identifying hazards, assessing their severity and implementing site-specific controls that are effective, practical and compliant with legislation.
Control Hire works directly with principal contractors, site managers and compliance officers to develop certified hazard control plans and provide the required equipment and monitoring systems to manage risk in the field.
Certified Control Plans Available from Control Hire
Control Hire’s plans are written by qualified consultants and engineers and meet the requirements of Safe Work Australia, state-based WHS regulations and industry codes of practice. These include:
1. Dust and Air Quality Management Plans (CDMP / AQMP)
These plans manage airborne dust and fine particles such as silica using a combination of suppression equipment, ventilation, real-time monitoring and filtration systems.
2. Noise and Vibration Management Plans (NVMP)
NVMPs address environmental noise limits, worker exposure levels and construction-induced vibration risks, protecting both personnel and nearby assets.
3. Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) Control Plans
Compliant with updated regulations, these plans support silica risk control through air monitoring strategies, engineering controls, PPE requirements and health monitoring protocols.
4. Temporary Ventilation / Confined Space and Tunnel Ventilation Plans
Designed to ensure safe oxygen levels and effective fume and dust control in enclosed environments such as access shafts, tunnels and undercrofts.
Includes airflow calculations, duct layouts and fan selection to support excavation, civil works or demolition projects where ventilation is required.
5. Diesel Fume and Toxic Gas Management Plans
Control strategies for managing diesel particulate matter (DPM), carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.
6. Personal and Area Exposure Monitoring Plans
These plans detail the use of wearable dust monitors, gas sensors, static monitoring stations and connected reporting systems, in line with WHS exposure standards.

Why Risk Control Plans Matter
WHS compliance is not limited to documentation. It includes real-world implementation, ongoing monitoring and worker engagement. Control Hire’s plans are written for use on live worksites and tailored to specific construction methods and hazard profiles. This ensures they are practical, enforceable and defensible under audit or regulatory review.
