This simple and versatile Outdoor Work Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the high-risk business activities and the safety measures that need to be followed to ensure the safety of employees, contractors and visitors at a workplace or worksite.
This SWMS specifically focuses on the safe work procedures involving outdoor work to ensure employees and contractors are aware of potential risks and have a clear guidance on how to work safely to prevent accidents and injuries.
Key components of the form includes:
- Scope of works,
- Measure and control,
- Personal protective clothing and equipment,
- Risk assessment, and
- Plant and equipment used on site.
Businesses who adopt a SWMS in their workplace and worksite demonstrate their commitment to workplace safety and compliance with relevant regulations. It is important to remember that SWSM may vary by location and job requirements so it is essential to tailor them to your business requirements.
