Use this Contractor SWMS Review checklist to evaluate Safe Work Method Statements for high‑risk construction activities. Verify contractor details (company, ABN, address), responsible persons, principal contractor and project information, and relevance to scope. Check that hazards are identified with risk ratings and that controls follow the hierarchy of control. Confirm evidence of worker consultation, identified plant and maintenance needs, and activity‑specific emergency scenarios. Ensure worker acknowledgments, completeness of sections, regular review processes, and obtain conditional acceptance and PM or Safety Advisor signoff.
