What is a SWMS template?

A SWMS template is a pre-written Safe Work Method Statement for a specific task, such as working at heights, excavator work or hot works. It lists the steps of the job, the hazards at each step, how risky each one is, and the controls that bring that risk down. You add your site details, review it with your crew and have everyone sign on. New to this? Read what a safe work method statement is.

When is a SWMS required in Queensland?

Under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld), a SWMS must be prepared before high risk construction work starts. That includes work with a risk of falling more than 2 metres, work in or near trenches deeper than 1.5 metres, work near powered mobile plant and work near energised electrical installations. See our guide to high risk construction work in Queensland.
