Frequently Asked Questions

A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a document that sets out the high-risk construction work activities to be carried out, the hazards arising from those activities, and the control measures to be put in place. Under the WHS Regulations 2011 (s.299), a SWMS is required before any high-risk construction work begins.

Yes, if you're carrying out high-risk construction work as defined in the WHS Regulations 2011. This includes work at heights, in confined spaces, involving demolition, near energised electrical installations, and more. Principal contractors and PCBUs have a duty to ensure a SWMS is in place before high-risk work starts.

In addition to SWMS, we offer a full range of construction safety documents across all 22 trades:

• Job Safety Analysis (JSA) — step-by-step task hazard analysis for daily risk assessment
• Toolbox Talk Records — pre-built safety discussion guides with attendance registers
• Site-Specific Risk Assessments (SSRA) — site-level hazard identification and control checklists
• Site Induction Checklists — worker induction records with signed acknowledgment
• Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) — step-by-step procedures for consistent, safe task execution
• Emergency Response Procedures — emergency plans with evacuation, first aid, and notification requirements

All documents are delivered in editable Word format and can be tailored to your specific site and project.
