If you’re diving into the world of synthetic surfacing and need a bit of structure around your work processes, the Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) Template for Synthetic Surfacing might just be what you’re looking for. Whilst it doesn’t promise to solve all the boggles of safety management, it’s certainly created to assist with streamlining some aspects. Let’s delve into its key features:

Pre-filled and Comprehensive

This template is designed to offer a solid foundation right from the start. With pre-filled sections, you get a well-rounded guideline on how to approach the specifics of synthetic surfacing safely, sparing you from starting from scratch.

Fully editable and customisable in Microsoft Word format for easy editing

Your projects aren’t one-size-fits-all, so why should your SWMS be? Easily tweak and adapt the document to better fit the unique conditions on your site with the flexibility provided by Microsoft Word. It’s all about making this template work for you.

Includes the scope of the project and the project details

Detail is key! Understanding the breadth of work being undertaken can make or break a successful project plan. The SWMS template lets you lay out the entire scope and intricate details of your project, ensuring everyone involved knows what’s expected.

Includes checklist of any high risk machinery on site

With any large-scale project comes the potential for risk, particularly with machinery. Keep track with a checklist dedicated to high-risk machinery, helping to highlight necessary precautions and ensure all bases are covered.

Includes space for recording any staff training

Knowledge is power, and having trained personnel on-site is indispensable. This section lets you keep tabs on who’s received what training, providing peace of mind that your team is ready to tackle the tasks at hand safely.

Includes before and after risk ratings

See the progress in risk mitigation with sections to record both before and after risk ratings. It’s helpful to visualise the effectiveness of your control measures over time.

Includes resources for use of legislative references

Staying compliant is crucial yet sometimes tedious. The template offers handy resources linked to applicable legislations, guiding you towards meeting required standards without the painstaking search elsewhere.

Includes all PPE required

Everyone deserves to feel safe on the job, and knowing what Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is needed is part of that. The template ensures there’s a clear list of essential safety gear, pertinent to your operations.

Includes risk assessment and risk assessment matrix

Evaluating risks doesn’t need to be daunting. With an in-depth risk assessment and accompanying matrix, deciphering potential hazards and understanding their impact becomes a more streamlined process.

Includes a checklist to ensure all requirements have been covered when implementing the SWMS

Implementing your SWMS with confidence will seem less overwhelming with a comprehensive checklist in tow, ensuring each stage aligns with safety protocols.

Includes sign off page for all workers and responsible persons

Accountability matters hugely in workplace safety. A dedicated sign-off page for workers and responsible persons ensures acknowledgement of their roles in maintaining and enforcing a safe working environment.

Easy to use, easy to customise

Let’s keep it simple! Designed to be user-friendly, this template makes navigating through sections a breeze, and adapting entries as needed even easier.

Suitable for large contracts and Tenders, including tier 1 contractual work

Whether it’s a small gig or a major operation, this SWMS can scale with your needs, making it suitable even if you’re dealing with hefty contracts or tier 1 engagements.

Frequent Questions

Safe Work Method Statement Template FAQ’s

What format is a BlueSafe Australia Safe Work Method Statement Template delivered in?

Because every SWMS needs to be edited to suit on-site specifics, it makes sense to deliver our Safe Work Method Statements in Microsoft Word Format for easy editing.

How many pages long is each Safe Work Method Statement Template?

It depends entirely on the nature of the risks associated with the SWMS Template, however on average the documents are between 7-15 pages in length. Each Safe Work Method Statement is comprehensive in nature and is easy to use.

What are before and after risk ratings?

Before and after risk ratings are simply this: When you initially start to do a job, like say drill a hole in a wall, there will be a level of risk, which for this example let's just say is a level 2 (before). The idea is that then you would implement some type of control measure to reduce the risk, and in this case we would implement the control measure of wearing safety glasses to protect the eyes. This now would bring the risk of an injury down to a level 1 (after). Here you can see how the SWMS has a before and after risk rating for each step of a job, task or process.

Why do the Safe Work Method Statement Templates have before and after risk ratings?

Before and after risk ratings are a simple and effective way to clearly show how, and how much a certain level of risk has been brought down for a certain step in a job task or process. Another reason also is that many larger contractors now like to see before and after risk ratings, so it makes sense to include them in our Templates.

Are the SWMS Templates pre-filled?

Absolutely. Every Safe Work Method Statement Template is pre-filled, high quality and comprehensive in order to help save you as much time, and deliver as much quality information as possible when conducting your own on site safety.

Do the Safe Work Method Statement Templates come with a Risk Assessment?

Yes. Each Safe Work Method Statement comes with it's own built in Risk Assessment which is part of the working document. The SWMS is straightforward, easy to use and has a risk calculator to work out the risk level and likelihood of the risk occurring.

Does each SWMS Template have the required PPE already suggested?

Yes, each SWMS Template has a range of PPE recorded, as well as picture icons of different PPE items that you can add/remove as you need to for the requirements of the job task.

What Should be Included in a Safe Work Method Statement?

If you're going to be doing any high risk construction work, you'll most likely not only need a Safe Work Method Statement, but you'll also need to make sure your SWMS has a number of checks and balances in order for the document to be accepted in your construction site safety. Purchasing a safe work method statement template can help save you quite a lot of time rather than starting from scratch. Also, just remember that even though every BlueSafe Template is highly comprehensive and pre-filled, your SWMS Template should be adjusted to suit any noticeable risks that are specific to the task you are performing.

Your Safe Work Method Statement must:
  • List or show the different types of construction work that is high risk
  • Clearly explain the workplace health and safety hazards as well as the risks that arise from the works
  • Explain in detail how each risk will be managed, maintained and controlled
  • Explain how each control measure will be implemented in order to reduce each risk
  • Describe how each control measure will be monitored an how often the control measures will be reviewed
  • Consider any additional factors that may impact the level of risk involved with the safety of the construction site such as weather, wind etc.
  • Be made available and accessible to read by employees and applicable personnel at any time.
  • Every SWMS should be easy to understand and written in plain language
  • Every BlueSafe Australia Safe Work Method Statement Template is straightforward and easy to use. They also have what's called 'before and after risk ratings', which basically means there's a built in risk assessment that is used in the process of using the document. This allows you to asses the initial risks and give them a score, and then assess the risk and give an 'after score' once the listed control measures are implemented. All our documents are comprehensive, pre-filled and easy to use. You can even download a sample below and see an example.
