Safe Work Method Statement - Template

This document is a template for a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS).

A SWMS is a written document that must identify the high risk construction work activities to be carried out at a workplace, the hazards and risks to health and safety arising from these activities, the measures to be implemented to control the risks and how the control measures are to be implemented, monitored and reviewed.

A SWMS is required for the high risk construction work activities defined in the Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Regulations 2011.
