SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement)

A document setting out how high-risk construction work will be done safely.

A SWMS identifies the high-risk construction work being done, the hazards, and the control measures to manage the risks, in consultation with workers. It’s legally required before high-risk construction work starts and must be kept on site.
