Construction SWMS
What a SWMS is — and why every high-risk job needs one
A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) sets out the high-risk construction work being done, the hazards it creates, and the measures to control them. Under the WHS Regulation, a SWMS is required by law before high-risk construction work starts — and a principal contractor will ask for it before you set foot on site.
We write task-specific SWMS for the actual work — not generic templates you have to rebuild — mapped to the high-risk categories in s291 and to your state.

High-risk construction work
If the work is high-risk, a SWMS isn’t optional
The WHS Regulation (s291) names the construction activities that legally require a SWMS. Miss one and the work can be stopped at the gate. We cover them all.
