Do fire protection installers need SWMS?

Yes. Fire protection work typically involves working at heights (installing sprinklers and detectors at ceiling level), working in confined spaces (risers, ceiling cavities), and electrical work — all high-risk activities under WHS Regulations s.291.

What fire protection systems are covered?

Our pack covers fire sprinkler systems (AS 2118), fire detection and alarms (AS 1670), fire doors (AS 1905), hydrants and hose reels (AS 2419), fire dampers, and passive fire protection — each with system-specific hazard controls.

Is electrical work for fire systems included?

Yes. Our detection and alarm SWMS covers low-voltage wiring, cable installation in ceiling spaces, electrical isolation procedures, and commissioning — addressing both electrical and working-at-height hazards.

Fire Protection SOP — Common Questions

What is the difference between a SOP and a SWMS?

A SOP provides step-by-step instructions for completing a task safely. A SWMS is a legal document specifically for high-risk construction work that focuses on hazard identification and risk control. SOPs are broader and apply to all tasks, not just HRCW.

Why do I need SOPs if I have SWMS?

SWMS only cover high-risk construction work. SOPs cover all tasks, including routine operations, equipment use, and procedures that don't qualify as HRCW but still need standardised safe practices.

Are your SOPs trade-specific?

Yes. Each SOP is written for specific trade activities, with relevant safety controls, PPE requirements, and references to applicable Australian Standards.
