What documents prove compliance with the WHS Act?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
You need risk assessments, SWMS, training records, safety audits, and incident reports. These show you're meeting the WHS Act requirements. Keep them well-organised and up to date for inspections.
Key points
- Risk assessments are essential.
- SWMS must be in place for high-risk tasks.
- Training records prove worker competency.
- Regular safety audits help track compliance.
Make sure all your safety documents are current and easily accessible. During audits, having these records ready can save you time and help show your commitment to safety. If there's an incident, these documents will be critical for proving compliance with the WHS Act.
