Gary’s Safety Tips 
G’day everyone, it’s great to be here today to talk about something that’s really important for anyone who’s involved in any kind of work, whether it’s construction, manufacturing, or even office work. I’m talking about risk assessments and the role of safe work method statements.
Now, I know some of you might be thinking, “Gary, that sounds really boring!” But trust me, it’s anything but. In fact, taking the time to properly assess and manage risks can be the difference between success and failure, both in terms of your own safety and the success of your project.
Let’s start with the basics. A risk assessment is simply the process of identifying potential hazards and assessing the likelihood and severity of any harm that might result. This might include physical hazards, such as falls or contact with hazardous substances, as well as environmental hazards like extreme temperatures or weather conditions.
Once you’ve identified potential hazards, the next step is to assess the risks associated with those hazards. This involves determining the likelihood that the hazard will occur, as well as the severity of the potential harm that could result. This information can then be used to prioritise risks and determine the best course of action to reduce or eliminate them.
Now, you might be thinking, “Gary, that all sounds great, but how do I actually do a risk assessment?” The good news is that there are plenty of resources available to help you. Safe Work Australia, for example, provides guidelines for conducting risk assessments, as well as a number of online tools and resources.
One tool that’s commonly used in the construction industry is the Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS). A SWMS is a document that outlines the steps that will be taken to perform a particular task safely, including identifying potential hazards and the measures that will be taken to mitigate those hazards.
The purpose of a SWMS is to provide a clear and concise guide for workers to follow when performing a task, so that they can do so safely and without putting themselves or others at risk. By following the steps outlined in a SWMS, workers can minimise the risk of injury or illness, and help ensure that the project is completed safely and successfully.
Of course, simply creating a SWMS isn’t enough. It’s also important to ensure that workers are trained on the steps outlined in the SWMS, and that they understand the importance of following those steps to ensure their own safety and the safety of others.
One thing to keep in mind is that risk assessments and SWMSs aren’t just important for ensuring safety on the job site – they’re also a key component of project management. By identifying potential hazards and risks upfront, project managers can better allocate resources and develop contingency plans to ensure that the project stays on track, even in the face of unexpected challenges.
In fact, risk assessments and SWMSs can be particularly valuable for large, complex projects where there are a lot of moving parts and potential hazards to manage. By taking a proactive approach to risk management, project managers can help ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and without any major safety incidents.
So, to sum up, risk assessments and SWMSs are critical components of any work environment, regardless of the industry. By taking the time to properly assess risks and develop safe work method statements, workers can minimise the risk of injury or illness, and help ensure the success of their projects. And, by incorporating risk management into project planning and management, project managers can help ensure that their projects stay on track and are completed safely and successfully.
Thanks for tuning in today, and remember, always put safety first!
