Who the Plumbing SWMS Bundle is for

Plumbers, gasfitters, drainers, roof plumbers and plumbing contractors in Queensland who need a SWMS ready for the high risk parts of their work, and who are asked for SWMS by builders and principal contractors before they can start on site.

Plumbing work that needs a SWMS

A SWMS must be prepared before high risk construction work starts (section 299 of the WHS Regulation 2011). Section 291 lists the types of high risk construction work, and plumbing work often involves several of them:

• work in or near a trench or shaft deeper than 1.5 metres
• work on or near pressurised gas distribution mains or piping
• work on or near chemical, fuel or refrigerant lines
• work in or near a confined space, such as pits, tanks and some ceiling spaces
• work with a risk of falling more than 2 metres, such as roof plumbing
• work that may disturb asbestos, such as old fibre cement pipes and sheeting
• work next to a road in use by traffic, or where powered mobile plant such as excavators is moving

The SWMS must identify the high risk work, state the hazards and risks, and describe the controls and how they will be put in place, monitored and reviewed. Keep it until the work is finished, or for 2 years after a notifiable incident (section 303).

Why buy your plumbing SWMS as a bundle

• Save 29% on buying the 25 SWMS one at a time.
• One layout for every job, so your crew always knows where the job steps, hazards and sign-on sheet are.
• Your details typed once in each SWMS fill in every page.
• Ready when a builder asks, so you are not held up at the site gate.

Using these SWMS on your job

Each SWMS covers the work named in its title, and each product page says what it covers. Tick any extra high risk construction work items that apply to your job, and review the SWMS whenever the work, the site or the controls change.
