Draft a SWMS
Builders want a SWMS before you start on site. Writing a new one for every job takes a long time.
Steps
- 1
First check: in NSW you need a SWMS for 'high risk construction work' (for example, a risk of falling more than 2 m, work near live electrical services, or powered mobile plant). Read the SafeWork NSW guide.

Download the SafeWork NSW SWMS template.

Prompt to copy
Help me draft a SWMS for this install, to be pasted into the SafeWork NSW template. Site: <type, levels, access>. Tasks: <e.g. carry in and install overhead cabinets on level 2, scribing, power tools, working from a platform ladder near an open void>. For each task step list: hazards, risk, control measures (hierarchy of controls), who is responsible. Flag which tasks may be high risk construction work under the NSW WHS Regulation. Use plain language a site worker understands.

Walk around the site, or look at photos, with the install team. Change the controls to what you will really do.
- 5
The supervisor checks and signs it. Workers sign it. Keep it on site. Review it if the site changes.
