About this template

A two to three page checklist for a principal or head contractor reviewing a subcontractor’s SWMS before high risk construction work begins. It tests the SWMS against the contents WHS Regulation s 299 requires, and records the decision as accepted for our records, accepted with changes or rejected.

What Is Included In Our SWMS Review & Acceptance Checklist?

  • SWMS, subcontractor and high risk work details with the date received
  • Part A: the contents tests taken from WHS Regulation s 299
  • Part B: scope, plant and licences, related permits, emergency arrangements and consultation
  • Part C: common errors to reject, such as PPE-only controls and wrong law
  • Part D: decision, required changes, revised copy and reviewer sign-off
  • A plain explanation of what the law requires of a principal contractor and what it does not

What You Get

  • An editable Microsoft Word checklist (2 pages), A4 portrait, to fill in on screen or print
  • Tick boxes that work in Word
  • A faults and actions record and sign-off
  • Business details typed once and filled in on every page, plus a space for your logo

FAQ

Before you buy

Something else? Ask us and a real person will reply.

What format is it?

Microsoft Word (registers are Excel). Edit it in Word or Excel, or free in Word and Excel for the web, and add your own logo and business details.

How do I get it after I pay?

Your download buttons appear as soon as checkout finishes, and the links are emailed to you. You can re-download from your account at any time.

Is it compliant with Queensland law?

It's written around Queensland's Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Regulation 2011. Tailor it to your site, consult your workers and review it whenever conditions change; no template can guarantee compliance on its own.

What if it isn't right for my job?

If it doesn't match its description or has a fault, we'll fix it, and if we can't, we'll refund you (or give you store credit if you'd prefer). Check the sample pages first, as we don't refund a change of mind.
