What is a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS)?
As defined by Safe Work Australia, a Safe Work Method Statement is a document that sets out the
high risk construction work activities to be carried out at a workplace, the hazards arising from
these activities and the measures to be put in place to control the risks. Source: www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/
A Safe Work Method Statement sets out the safe work methods to be carried out, and can often times also be referred in ways such as; SWMS, Work Method Statement, Worksafe SWMS, Safe Work Method Statements, SWM or WMS.
What is the purpose of a SWMS?
The primary purpose of a SWMS document is so any person who works or enters a workplace will understand the safe work procedure requirements that have been established to conduct the high risk construction work in a safe and healthy fashion.
A SWMS should always include:
- Information on the work that is considered high risk.
- The safety and health hazards related to the work being conducted.
- The control measures that are required to minimise or remove the hazards and/or risks.
- How the control measures are required to be actioned.
- When the risk control measures are required to be monitored and reviewed.
All business owners, directors and management involved in a high risk work activity are responsible to ensure:
- The work is conducted in line with the Safe Work Method Statement requirements
If the work is not carried out in accordance with the SWMS, the work must be:
- Stopped immediately or when safely possible.
When work is resumed, it must be done so in accordance with the SWMS safety guidelines. Every Safe Work Method Statement is given to the principal contractor prior to beginning work. Also, every Safe Work Method Statement should be stored conveniently so they are readily available for inspection at any time.
