WHS Form 03 is the work health and safety policy page from the Housing Industry Site Safety Pack. The full policy text is already printed on the SafeWork NSW PDF; you only complete the name, position, signature and date acknowledgement. Keep the finished PDF in the site safety file with the rest of the pack, and make the policy available to workers as your arrangements require.
This is the current SafeWork NSW WHS Form 03 from the Housing Industry Site Safety Pack. Tradie Forms follows the official section order and maps your answers onto the official PDF layout.
Acknowledges the printed WHS policy for this business. The app only collects the sign-off block; the objectives, commitment and consultation wording appear on the downloaded Housing Industry Site Safety Pack PDF.
NameTextRequired
The person acknowledging the policy. Use the same spelling as Form 01 Name of Director or Manager when that person is the signatory, so the principal's file does not show two different people in charge of the same pack. If someone else has authority for this acknowledgement, use their full name as they sign other WHS records.
PositionComboboxRequired
Their role for this pack. Common options are Director, Managing Director, Site Supervisor, Project Manager, WHS Manager and Owner; you can also type a custom title. Prefer the title the principal and workers already use for that person, not a job-site nickname.
SignatureSignatureOptional
The same person named above. Sign when you have read the policy text on the PDF and the name and position are correct for this pack, not as a blank stamp for later jobs. You can use a saved signature; check the preview so the stamp sits cleanly in the signature box on the policy page.
DateDateRequired
The day this policy acknowledgement is completed for the pack. Today and Yesterday shortcuts are there because this is usually filled when the site file is opened. The field does not accept a future date.
Save this section as Signatory to prefill it on your next Housing Industry Site Safety Pack for this business.
Prefill restores name and position only. The person still needs to review the policy and sign each pack entry.
The finished PDF carries the SafeWork NSW policy objectives and commitment paragraphs above the sign-off block. Nothing you type in the app rewrites that policy text.
The app only shows the sign-off fields. The commitment and objectives sit on the downloaded page. Open the preview before you treat the file as acknowledged.
Using a different name from Form 01.
Form 01 sets who runs the pack. A Form 03 signed by someone else without explanation makes the site file look inconsistent when a principal checks the first pages.
Prefilling the signatory and skipping the signature.
Saved Signatory details restore name and position only. A policy page with a name and no signature is not a finished acknowledgement for the site file.
Dating the form for a job that has not started.
The date field rejects future dates for a reason. Use the day you actually complete this pack entry; open a fresh Form 03 when the next site pack needs its own acknowledgement.
Treating Form 03 as a complete WHS system.
The signed policy is one page in the pack. It does not replace roles, risk assessment, SWMS, toolbox talks, training or registers the job still needs.
Never revisiting the policy after the business changes.
Trading name, work types or WHS arrangements can outgrow the signed page. Review when the business or how you run sites changes, then re-sign a current pack entry rather than relying on last year's PDF alone.
Keep the finished PDF in the site safety file on site and retain a copy with your business records. Tradie Forms does not lodge Form 03 with SafeWork NSW or any other authority.
Name the file with the business and date so it sits with Forms 01, 02 and the rest of the pack, for example WHS-03 - Mitchell Building - 2026-06-15.pdf.
Make the policy available to workers as your site arrangements require. A PDF only in a director's email does not help the crew on site.
Reuse the Signatory saved detail on the next pack for the same business, then re-check name and position before signing again.
Move on to the rest of the pack the job needs. Form 03 alone does not replace organisation details, roles, risk assessment, SWMS or toolbox talks.
Check the current SafeWork NSW Housing Industry Site Safety Pack guidance for your job type. What the principal requires on that site sits with the principal and the authority, not with this page.
