1 APPENDIX C: SAFE WORK METHOD STATEMENTS TEMPLATE AND EXAMPLE SWMS Template Drafting Note: The following is a version of the WorkSafe Victoria SWMS template for the development of council specific Safe Work Method Statements. Safe work method statement This SWMS is a site-specific statement that must be prepared before any high-risk construction work is commenced. Person responsible for ensuring compliance with this SWMS: Date: High-risk job: Location: What are the tasks involved? What are the hazards and risks? Think about the worksite and each stage of the project, including preparation and clean-up. Page 89 How will hazards and risks be controlled? (describe the control measures and how they will be used)

2 Steps for filling out 1. Discuss with relevant employees, contractors and HSRs what work will be high-risk, the tasks, and associated hazards, risks and controls. 2. In the What are the tasks involved? column, list the work tasks in sequence to how they will be carried out. 3. In the What are the hazards and risks? column, list the hazards and risks for each work task. 4. In the How will the hazards and risks be controlled? column, select the hazard or risk and then work through the control levels 1 4 from top to bottom. Choose a control measure (and how it is to be used) that is as close to level 1 as is reasonably practicable. Control levels 1. Eliminate any risk to health or safety associated with construction work. 2. Reduce the risk to health or safety by any one or any combination of the following: Substituting a new activity, procedure, plant, process or substance Isolating persons from the hazard, such as barricading, fencing or guardrailing, or Using engineering controls, such as mechanical or electrical devices. 3. Use administrative controls, such as changing the way the work is done. 4. Provide appropriate personal protective equipment. 5. Brief each team member on this SWMS before commencing work. Ensure team knows that work is to immediately stop if the SWMS is not being followed. 6. Observe work being carried out. If controls are not adequate, stop the work, review the SWMS, adjust as required and re-brief the team. 7. Retain this SWMS for the duration of the high-risk construction work. Page 90
