SWMS Safe Work Method Statement
A SWMS is required for the 18 high-risk construction work activities defined in the WHS Regulations.
A SWMS is a written document that sets out the high-risk construction work activities to be carried out at a workplace, the hazards and risks arising from these activities and the measures to be put in place to control the risks. Its primary purpose is to help supervisors and workers implement and monitor the control measures established at the workplace to ensure high-risk construction work is carried out safely.
For all other construction activities, a SWMS is not required. However, a person conducting a business or undertaking must manage risks to health and safety by eliminating or minimizing risks so far as is reasonably practicable.
NECA Safe NSW has developed compliant SWMS which include pre-written generic step-by-step work process, hazards and controls. Designed specifically for the Electrical Contractor, these SWMS have passed the strictest of a safety review by Safety officers across the country.
