Full Description

This Information Sheet provides advice for persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) on the function, content and application of safe work method statements (SWMS). SWMS are required for the 18 high risk construction work activities defined in the WHS Regulations and included in Appendix A.

A SWMS is not required for ‘work of a minor nature’. For further information on what is ‘work of a minor nature’ see the Information Sheet:

Construction work – work of a minor nature.
The Code of Practice: Construction work outlines the requirements for SWMS and this information sheet provides further information. Check the local WHS regulator website for further information on SWMS (there are links on the Safe Work Australia website home page).

What is a SWMS?
A SWMS is a document that sets out the high risk construction work activities to be carried out at a workplace, the hazards arising from these activities and the measures to be put in place to control the risks.
