Construction Safe Work Method Statement SWMS

This Construction Safe Work Method Statement SWMS template helps teams plan and document high risk construction work. It guides users to break work into steps, identify hazards such as working at heights, excavation, electrical, confined spaces, traffic, and extreme temperatures, assess risk levels, and record control measures. The form includes fields for responsible persons, codes of practice consulted, maintenance checks, assumptions, review dates, and worker sign off with signatures. Use it to communicate methods, verify qualifications and fitness for duty, and ensure controls are followed before and during work. Intended as a starting point only and should be adapted to your site and jurisdiction.
