Signage & Line Marking Risk Assessment — Common Questions
What is the difference between a risk assessment and a SWMS?
A risk assessment provides a broad overview of all hazards for a scope of work at a site. A SWMS is task-specific and legally required for high-risk construction work. Both are important but serve different purposes.
Do I need a risk assessment if I have a SWMS?
Yes. A SWMS covers specific high-risk tasks. A site-specific risk assessment covers all hazards at the site, including those not classified as high-risk construction work.
What risk matrix do your assessments use?
Our risk assessments use a 5×5 likelihood-consequence matrix, providing initial risk ratings before controls and residual ratings after controls are applied.
