What is SWMS used for? An SWMS is an administrative control intended to support higher order controls per the hierarchy of hazard controls in eliminating or minimising the risk to health and safety, e.g. engineering controls. High risk construction work SWMS for a work task may incorporate several high risk activities, e.g. work at heights, operation of powered mobile plant and disturbing asbestos. To reduce the risk of significant harm each of the high risk construction work activities must have: Job hazard analysis to identify the hazards Risk assessed per the hierarchy of controls Develop risk controls to reduce the risk to health and safety Monitor and review implemented control measures and residual risks. Safety Culture Safe work method statement purpose is to promote positive safety behaviour in the workplace between all duty holders. Responsibility for health and safety in the workplace is everyone's responsibility, and it starts with an effective WHS communication method, e.g. work health and safety consultation cooperation and coordination. Remove the barriers to effective WHS consultation and participation through the implementation of: Consultation with employees Toolbox talks Safety messages for the workplace.

High risk construction work SWMS for a work task may incorporate several high risk activities, e.g. work at heights, operation of powered mobile plant and disturbing asbestos. To reduce the risk of significant harm each of the high risk construction work activities must have: Job hazard analysis to identify the hazards Risk assessed per the hierarchy of controls Develop risk controls to reduce the risk to health and safety Monitor and review implemented control measures and residual risks. Safety Culture Safe work method statement purpose is to promote positive safety behaviour in the workplace between all duty holders. Responsibility for health and safety in the workplace is everyone's responsibility, and it starts with an effective WHS communication method, e.g. work health and safety consultation cooperation and coordination. Remove the barriers to effective WHS consultation and participation through the implementation of: Consultation with employees Toolbox talks Safety messages for the workplace.

Health and Safety Legislation Health and safety legislation in the workplace is the WHS legislative framework to secure the health and safety of workers and workplaces by eliminating risk arising from work. WHS Acts, Regulations and Codes of Practice WHS Act WHS Acts provide the WHS framework to ensure the safety of workers and other persons who might be at risk from the undertaking of work activities. WHS Regulation The WHS regulation establishes a framework for the implementation of controls to prevent or minimise the risk. Codes of Practice Codes of practice provide WHS duty holders with WHS guidance material to: Identify hazards and manage risks. Achieve the health and safety aims and objectives of the Work Health and Safety Act. Reasonably Practicable A person conducting a business or undertaking must so far as reasonably practicable, eliminate or minimise risks where there is no regulation or code of practice about a risk. Elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative and ppe.
