17.01.2022 FAQ - Do I need a safe work method statement? If you do high risk construction work then yes, you need a safe work method statement by law. Each state has different legislation in regard to what is considered high risk construction work which can make things confusing for builders and trade contractors who want to do the right thing. Here is some more information on what a SWMS is. And not only is it difficult to find the information sometimes, it is then difficult to try and... decide whether it applies to you. But generally, if you are working on a construction site, you are going to be doing some kind of high risk construction work, so it is best to have one, just in case. Remember there is no monetary value placed on when a SWMS is required. Many clients believe that if a job is under a certain amount that it is not needed, this is false. Even if you are doing a job that costs $0 but you are doing high risk construction work, then under most states legislation you should have a SWMS for that work. We have swms for all trades that meet legislative requirements across Australia.

07.01.2022 In most states in Australia you need a WHS Plan when the project you are working on as the builder is worth more than $250 000. When you hit this mark you then become the Principal Contractor which makes you responsible under WHS law for a number of things, including having a WHS Management Plan. However, just to make things confusing when the work is under $250 000 the legislation says you need to ensure the safety of workers, but it doesn’t tell you how to do it. That is w...hy many builders and trade contractors who do smaller works will still ensure they have at least a basic WHS Plan. They want to: 1. Be able to share with workers and others what the expectations of them are and 2. If something goes wrong they want to be able to prove to inspectors, investigators, insurance companies, lawyers and courts that they were working safely and that they have the evidence of doing so. You may also be asked for a WHS management plan to do tenders, work for the government, work for insurance companies or even just large construction companies who want evidence that you have systems in place to work safely. So as with safe work method statements you can see that for most businesses, having a WHS Plan puts them in a better position for many eventualities. Visit https://buff.ly/2vJVYFz
