Asbestos is a legal minefield. This template gives you the management plan and the SWMS to navigate it — compliantly.

Any workplace or project that involves asbestos or asbestos-containing materials (ACM) requires careful, documented management. Under the Model Work Health and Safety Act and WHS Regulations, persons conducting a business or undertaking have a clear legal duty to manage asbestos-related risks. This template gives you everything you need to meet that obligation.

This 90-page Asbestos Management Plan template has been developed in accordance with the Model WHS Act, Model WHS Regulations, and all four relevant Model Codes of Practice — covering how to manage asbestos in the workplace, how to safely remove it, how to manage WHS risks generally, and how to manage the work environment and facilities. 

What Makes This Template Different?

Unlike most asbestos management plan templates, this one includes two complete Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) as part of the package:

• Asbestos Removal SWMS

• Asbestos — Working Around SWMS

If you're managing asbestos on a project, you need both the plan and the SWMS. Getting them from the same source means they're consistent, cross-referenced, and developed to the same standards. Buying them separately would cost more.

What's Included?

The AMP covers the full lifecycle of asbestos management on a project or workplace:

• Background, statutory requirements, and legal context.

• Asbestos Management Policy and objectives.

• Workplace consultation and management structure.

• Asbestos Register requirements.

• Inductions, training, reporting, and subcontractor management.

• Risk management, hazard reporting, and risk assessment.

• PPE requirements and site safety rules.

• Asbestos warning signs and labels.

• Monitoring work areas, communication, and corrective action.

• Plan review and emergency response.

The 22 schedules cover everything from the asbestos register and induction records through to incident reports, hazard identification tools, PPE registers, subcontractor safety checklists, and an asbestos removal control plan.

Who Is This For?

This template is used by businesses that manage, work near, or remove asbestos in workplaces or on construction sites. It's particularly relevant for builders, renovation contractors, demolition firms, and property managers working in buildings constructed before 1990 — where asbestos is commonly present.

It's also used by principal contractors who need to ensure that asbestos risks on a site are formally managed and documented — both as a legal requirement and as evidence of due diligence for subcontractors and clients.

Why This Template?

Includes SWMS — a significant value-add

Most asbestos management plan templates don't include SWMS. This one does — and having the plan and the SWMS developed to the same standards, in the same package, makes your documentation consistent and easier to manage.

Aligned with all relevant Codes of Practice

The template is cross-referenced against four Model Codes of Practice — not just the WHS Act and Regulations. That level of alignment is what regulators and auditors look for.

vs. Starting from scratch

Asbestos legislation is detailed and the Codes of Practice are extensive. Translating all of that into a working, site-ready management plan is a substantial undertaking. This template has already done it — with guidance notes to make customisation straightforward.
