[ WHS Management Plan ]
A WHS Management Plan that's actually specific to the site
A WHS Management Plan copied from the last project and lightly edited stops being genuinely site-specific. Novato starts from your account-wide defaults for the parts that don't change project to project, and asks only for what's actually different about this site.
How it works
Set your account-wide defaults once
Standard WHS responsibilities and consultation arrangements that apply across your projects, so you're not rewriting them every time.
Open a project and add what's site-specific
The health and safety rules that actually apply to this site — leave the rest blank to use your account default.
Override anything project-specific if needed
A particular project can override the responsibilities or consultation arrangements default if it genuinely needs to.
Generate and save the plan
A project-specific WHS Management Plan, built from real defaults plus real site rules, not a copy-paste job.
How this fits Australian WHS compliance
A WHS Management Plan documents how health and safety is managed on a specific project — Novato's role is making that document genuinely reflect the site (not a copy of the last one) by separating what's genuinely project-specific from what's a standing company default.
Common questions
Do I have to fill in everything for every project?
No — responsibilities and consultation arrangements default to your account-wide settings unless you override them for a specific project.
What if my account default changes?
Projects that haven't overridden a section will reflect the updated default; projects with their own override keep what was set specifically for them.
Is the plan a legal document?
It's your record of how WHS is managed on the project — the substance of what you put in it is your responsibility, the same as any WHS Management Plan.
