Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS): Your Roadmap to a Safer Workplace

Navigating the landscape of workplace safety is crucial, but it doesn't have to be complicated. At SafetyDocs, we provide Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) designed to simplify the process. Whether you’re managing a construction site, running a factory, or overseeing any high-risk activities, our SWMS templates empower your team to operate with confidence and compliance.

What is a Safe Work Method Statement?

A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a legal document outlining high-risk construction work (HRCW) activities carried out within a workplace, the hazards that may arise from these activities, and safety measures to control the risks. It's essential for tasks involving manual handling, hazardous manual tasks, and those requiring a safe system of work template, like carpentry.

 

SWMS are also referred to by other terms, including Safe Work Procedures, Method Statement for Construction Works, or simply Work Method Statements.

When is a Safe Work Method Statement Required?

Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) are required for high risk work activities, as defined in the WHS Regulations, so it’s important that you get it right!

 

Our Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) come complete with Risk Matrix, Hierarchy of Controls, PPE Requirements and Job Steps (including potential hazards and control measures).

Why Safe Work Method Statements Matter?

Safe Work Method Statements are not just a legal requirement - they’re a roadmap to a safer more efficient work environment. Our SWMS documents guide you step-by-step through identifying hazards, implementing controls, and ensuring your workforce understands the risks involved. With our SWMS, you’re not just checking a box - you’re actively enhancing safety and productivity.
