Concrete Floor Preparation Safe Work Method Statement

Concrete Floor Preparation Safe Work Method Statement

This Concrete Floor Preparation Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) covers health and safety controls associated with the repair and preparation of concrete floors.

This includes precautions when working on existing floor surfaces, including removal of old coatings, repairs, cleaning and priming. It also covers the installation of new floor finishes such as epoxy or polyurethane coatings.

The toxicology of working with some compounds ensures that maintaining good hygiene by wearing protective equipment is critical to avoid contact with toxic chemicals.

The Safe Work Method Statement is intended to be used by anyone who carries out this type of work in order to prevent injury from using mechanical tools and exposure to other hazards associated with surface preparation activities.

Comes with a complimentary copy of the Legislation & Codes of Practice Reference List valued at $19.95
