SWMS are required when tiling work involves high-risk activities, particularly tile cutting that generates crystalline silica dust (a serious respiratory hazard) or working at heights. Most commercial tiling projects require SWMS.

Is silica dust from tile cutting addressed?

Yes. Every tile cutting SWMS includes crystalline silica dust controls: wet cutting methods, local exhaust ventilation, P2 respiratory protection, atmospheric monitoring triggers, and housekeeping to prevent secondary dust exposure.

Do these cover wet area tiling?

Yes. Our tiling pack includes a dedicated wet area SWMS covering waterproofing membrane application, surface preparation, wet area tiling techniques, and compliance with AS/NZS 3740 for domestic wet areas.
