Introducing the Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) for using rope access systems! Our pre-filled and comprehensive SWMS is designed to help you manage and mitigate risks associated with rope access work. We understand that every job is unique, and that’s why our SWMS is fully editable and customisable in Microsoft Word format for easy editing, ensuring that it fits your specific needs.
Our SWMS includes a scope of the project and project details, providing clear instructions on the work to be carried out. We also include a checklist of any high-risk machinery on site, ensuring that all hazards are identified and assessed before work commences.
At our core, we prioritise the safety of all personnel involved in rope access work. That’s why our SWMS includes space for recording any staff training, so you can be sure that all workers are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate safely.
We also provide before and after risk ratings to ensure that risks are properly assessed and managed throughout the duration of the project. Our SWMS includes resources for use of legislative references, ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
Additionally, our SWMS includes all PPE required for rope access work, ensuring that all workers have the necessary equipment to work safely. We also provide a risk assessment and risk assessment matrix to assess the likelihood and consequences of potential hazards.
Our SWMS includes a checklist to ensure that all requirements have been covered when implementing the SWMS, making it easy to use and customise. We also include a sign-off page for all workers and responsible persons, ensuring that everyone is aware of their responsibilities and has agreed to follow the SWMS.
Our SWMS is suitable for large contracts and tenders, including tier 1 contractual work. It is an instantly delivered download, allowing you to get started on your rope access work quickly and easily.

Gary’s Safety Tips 
G’day everyone, Gary here and today I want to talk about a very important topic that every organisation needs to pay attention to – safe work method statements.
As we all know, workplace safety is paramount to the success of any organisation. It not only ensures the well-being of employees but also helps to avoid legal issues, improve productivity and build a positive reputation. That’s why it’s critical for every organisation to adopt safe work method statements.
So, what is a safe work method statement? A safe work method statement (SWMS) is a document that outlines the hazards associated with a particular task or activity and provides a step-by-step process for completing the task safely. It helps to identify and assess the risks associated with the work and implement controls to minimise or eliminate those risks.
Now, you might be thinking, “Gary, do I really need to bother with this? My employees know what they’re doing and we’ve never had any accidents.” Well, let me tell you, accidents can happen to anyone, no matter how experienced they are. And if you don’t have a SWMS in place, you’re leaving yourself and your employees vulnerable to potential hazards.
Not only that, but if you don’t have a SWMS in place and something does go wrong, you could be held liable. That means legal fees, compensation claims, and damage to your reputation. Trust me, it’s not worth the risk.
So, how do you go about adopting a SWMS? Firstly, you need to identify the tasks or activities that require a SWMS. This could include anything from operating heavy machinery to handling hazardous chemicals. Once you’ve identified the tasks, you need to assess the risks associated with each task and determine the controls needed to minimise those risks.
Next, you need to develop the SWMS. This should include a step-by-step process for completing the task safely, including any safety equipment required and emergency procedures. Make sure you involve your employees in the development process, as they’re the ones who will be carrying out the tasks.
Once you’ve developed the SWMS, make sure you communicate it to all employees and provide the necessary training to ensure they understand how to carry out the task safely. It’s also important to review and update the SWMS regularly to ensure it remains relevant and effective.
I know what you’re thinking, “Gary, this all sounds like a lot of work.” And you’re right, it is. But the benefits far outweigh the effort required. By adopting a SWMS, you’re not only protecting your employees, but also your business. You’re demonstrating to your employees and customers that you take workplace safety seriously, which can help to build a positive reputation and improve your bottom line.
So, if you haven’t already adopted a SWMS, I urge you to do so. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Make workplace safety a priority in your organisation and you’ll reap the benefits in the long run.
In conclusion, workplace safety should be a top priority for every organisation. Adopting a safe work method statement is a crucial step in ensuring the well-being of employees, avoiding legal issues, improving productivity and building a positive reputation. It may seem like a lot of work, but the benefits far outweigh the effort required. So, take action now and make workplace safety a priority in your organisation.
Cheers,
