Safe Work Method Statements

A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a detailed plan that outlines how specific tasks should be performed safely on a worksite. It identifies potential hazards, necessary safety measures, and the steps workers must follow to prevent accidents. SWMS helps ensure that risks are managed effectively, promoting a safer environment for everyone involved. It is typically used for high-risk activities and is an essential part of workplace safety compliance, allowing workers and managers to understand and implement safety procedures before starting complex or dangerous jobs.
