Plastering work triggers SWMS requirements under WHS Regulations s.291 when performed at heights of 2 metres or more, which is common for ceiling work, stairwells, and multi-storey interiors.

Our plastering SWMS pack covers 8 activities including plasterboard installation, fire-rated wall and ceiling systems, cement rendering, cornice installation, wet area preparation, and working from scaffolding and stilts. Documents address hazards such as falls from stilts and scaffolding, manual handling of heavy plasterboard sheets, dust inhalation from sanding, and chemical exposure from adhesives and compounds.

Plastering 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.
