Frequently asked questions

How do I know which high-risk construction activities require a SWMS?

A SWMS is required for several specific high-risk activities including working at heights over 2 meters, demolition, asbestos removal, working in confined spaces, and near electrical installations. Check your local WHS regulations for the complete list applicable to your jurisdiction.

What’s the difference between a SWMS and a general risk assessment?

A SWMS specifically addresses high-risk construction work and must include the actual steps of the work, associated hazards, and control measures. Unlike general risk assessments, a SWMS is legally required, must be prepared before work begins, and needs to be readily available at the worksite.

Who should sign off on my SWMS before work begins?

Your SWMS should be signed by the person responsible for the work (usually the supervisor or manager), and all workers involved in the high-risk activities. This confirms everyone understands the hazards and control measures before starting work—a critical compliance requirement.

How can I ensure workers actually follow the SWMS on site

Beyond initial signatures, implement regular toolbox talks discussing the SWMS, conduct spot checks during work activities, and encourage workers to report when conditions don’t match the SWMS. Create a culture where following safety procedures is valued over rushing to complete work.
