Do signage installers need SWMS?

Yes, when signage work involves working at heights (elevated signs), working near live traffic, or operating plant equipment (EWPs, cranes). Traffic management during signage installation is also classified as high-risk work.

Is traffic management covered?

Yes. Our pack includes a dedicated traffic management SWMS covering traffic control plans, lane closures, temporary signage requirements, worker visibility, and speed zone management — referenced to AS 1742.

What about thermoplastic line marking?

Our thermoplastic SWMS covers hot material handling, burn prevention, ventilation requirements for fumes, fire safety with heated equipment, and PPE requirements including heat-resistant gloves and respiratory protection.

Signage & Line Marking 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.
