Safe As Docs: SWMS and WHS kits

What goes into a SWMS we write

• The high risk construction work it covers.
• The hazards and risks that work creates.
• The controls you will use, and how they will be put in place, checked and reviewed.
• Your tools, plant and crew, so it describes how you do the job.
• A sign-on section so your workers can show they have read it.

New to SWMS? Start with what a SWMS is and who needs one.

Single SWMS or Trade Pack?

If you need one SWMS for one job, get a Single SWMS. If you do the same kinds of work week in, week out, the Trade Pack covers the five jobs you do most in one go.

Not sure which five? See what we would put in the pack for your trade.
