Shop Fitting SWMS & WHS templates

Safety documents for shop fitting work in Queensland
Shop fitting means working in occupied centres, above ceilings and around other trades, often to a tight deadline. Fitting-out is construction work (section 289 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld)), and section 291 makes it high risk if it involves a risk of falling more than 2 m, disturbs or is likely to disturb asbestos, is carried out on or near energised electrical installations or services, or happens where powered mobile plant moves, such as a loading dock. A SWMS is required before the work starts (section 299).
Refurbishment, dust and the public
For refurbishment of a building constructed before 31 December 1989, and of some older structures and plant (minor or routine maintenance is not covered; see section 447), the business doing the work must get the asbestos register from the person who manages or controls the workplace before it starts (section 450). If there is no register, a competent person must inspect first, and asbestos is assumed where there is doubt (section 451). You also owe a duty to other people put at risk by your work, such as shoppers and neighbouring tenants (section 19(2) of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld)).
Cutting concrete or stone can release silica dust. Processing a crystalline silica substance, such as cutting or grinding it with a power tool, must be controlled (section 529C), and work involving engineered stone benchtops, panels and slabs is prohibited, with limited exceptions (sections 529D to 529F).
