Product Overview
This High Pressure Gas Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is designed to identify hazards, assess risks, and implement controls for all work involving high pressure gas systems on Australian worksites. It is a comprehensive, ready-to-use document that supports WHS compliance and safe management of high risk construction work involving high pressure gas installation, operation, and maintenance.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Planning and risk assessment for work on high pressure gas systems, including consultation and permit-to-work requirements
- Selection, inspection, and use of high pressure gas hoses, fittings, regulators, and associated equipment
- Safe isolation, depressurisation, and lockout/tagout of high pressure gas lines prior to maintenance or modification
- Installation, commissioning, and pressure testing of new or modified high pressure gas pipework and components
- Operation of high pressure gas systems, including start-up, shutdown, and monitoring for leaks or abnormal conditions
- Management of ignition sources and control of flammable atmospheres in areas where gas is used or may accumulate
- Use of gas detection equipment and atmospheric monitoring to identify leaks and unsafe gas concentrations
- Emergency response procedures for gas leaks, line rupture, fire, explosion, and uncontrolled gas release
- Safe work in confined or poorly ventilated areas where high pressure gas may be present
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) selection and use for high pressure gas work, including eye, hand, and respiratory protection
- Transport, storage, and handling of gas cylinders and high pressure gas containers on and off site
- Training, competency, and supervision requirements for workers involved in high pressure gas tasks
Who is this for?
This SWMS is designed for gas fitters, mechanical and process contractors, industrial maintenance teams, pipeline and utilities workers, and site supervisors managing work involving high pressure gas systems.
