Height Access Equipment Safe Work Method Statement

Height Access Equipment Safe Work Method Statement

Working at height is one of the most dangerous activities in construction. It’s important to follow safety procedures and use the right equipment when working at height. This working at height SWMS covers all hazards and controls associated with working on fixed scaffolding, erecting and working on mobile and trestle scaffolds, extension, vertical ladders, platform ladders, using fall arrest systems (the safety harness)

You can feel confident that your employees are safe while they work by following this SWMS. The document will help you understand what needs to be done before starting any work at height activity and during it. It's not just about wearing a safety harness or using fall protection devices either - it's also about how you plan your work, what tools you use and how you communicate with other workers on site.

SafetyDocs SWMS provides comprehensive solutions for implementing high-quality Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) for all types of working at heights projects.

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