Practical SWMS sections included
- Site details: business, principal contractor, supervisor, work activity and review dates.
- High-risk work: selected construction work categories carried into the record.
- Risk controls: task steps, hazards, initial risk, control measures and residual risk.
- Required sign-off: workers review the SWMS and confirm they understand the controls.
