    SAFE WORK METHOD STATEMENT (SWMS)


    June 2017

    A SWMS must be completed for tasks that involve:

    • working from height


    • working with plant
    • working with hazardous substances
    • Working on or near live electricity
    • Demolition
    • Excavation
    • Manual Handling
    • Restricted Space i.e. tunnels
    • All tasks that have inherent hazards or risks involved

    Generic SWMS can be used for routine tasks but must be reviewed if there is a change to the process or
    procedure.

    SWMS

    A SWMS is a site specific statement that must be prepared before any task is commenced. This is to
    ensure that any hazards or risks identified are appropriately controlled minimized or eliminated that
    would cause harm to the worker/s and others within the vicinity of the works.

    TASKS

    Identification of tasks at each stage of the project including preparation and clean up must be addressed.

    HAZARD AND RISK CONTROL

    Controlling the identified hazards & risks is the most important section that must be completed on the
    form. The aim is to adopt the best control measure to either eliminate or minimize the risk at source.

    Control levels:

    1. Eliminate any risk to health or safety associated with construction work


    2. Reduce the risk to health or safety by one or any combination of the following:
    • Substituting a new activity, procedure, plant process or substance
    • Using engineering controls, such as mechanical or electrical devices
    • Isolating persons from the hazard, such as barricading, fencing or guard railing
    3. Use administrative controls, such as changing the way the work is done, training & signage
    4. Provide appropriate personal protective equipment
