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.

Everything a compliant construction site runs on
From a single method statement to a full WHS management system — jurisdiction-accurate, portal-ready, built for the way sites actually work.
Risk assessments & JSAs
Hazardous chemical, confined space, working-at-heights and silica risk assessments, plus job safety analyses.
WHS management systems
ISO 45001-aligned site safety systems — policy, procedures, registers and the framework to run them.
Permits & registers
Confined space and hot-work permits, plant registers, SDS and hazardous chemical registers — site-ready.
Contractor & site compliance
Prequalification, site documentation and the evidence principal contractors and portals actually require.
Silica & high-risk controls
Respirable crystalline silica control plans and the documentation the newest high-risk duties demand.
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.

Trade SWMS
One document per trade, covering the whole scope of works
A principal contractor asks for a SWMS covering the trade you are engaged for, not a stack of single-task documents. Each of these covers its trade end to end, is written to the WHS Regulation in the state you pick, and arrives as an editable Word file.
