Swms constructionBy Michael Selinger
[Ed Note: Construction businesses operating under the harmonised safety laws will be familiar with the regulations which govern construction work. In particular, the construction regulations require that a safe work method statement (SWMS) be prepared for every high-risk construction work activity.
High-risk construction work includes, for example, any construction work that:
- is on or near energised electrical installations; or
- involves a risk of a person falling more than 2 metres.
There are 15 or so other areas set out in WHS Regulation 291.
But what exactly is the function of an SWMS under the WHS legislation? And should you only use one if you operate in the construction industry?
