Painting Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS): Simplifying Safety and Compliance

A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) for painting is a critical document that outlines the steps to be taken to ensure the safety of workers during painting tasks. It is a requirement for high-risk construction work, including painting work that involves working at heights, in confined spaces, or with hazardous chemicals. The SWMS provides a systematic approach to identifying and managing hazards associated with painting work, ensuring that workers are aware of the risks and take necessary precautions to prevent injuries and illnesses.

 

Painting projects, whether residential or industrial, involve specific risks that demand careful planning and adherence to workplace health and safety standards. Our Painting SWMS cover everything from lead paint removal to abrasive blasting, providing clear, actionable procedures that prioritise safety and compliance.
