Gary’s Safety Tips 
G’day everyone, it’s Gary here, and today we’re going to talk about an important topic that affects many businesses across Australia – the adequacy of Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) documentation.
As a business owner, it’s crucial that you ensure your workplace is safe for your employees and visitors. One way to do this is by creating and implementing a SWMS for each high-risk activity carried out in your workplace. A SWMS is a document that outlines the steps required to complete a task safely, the potential hazards involved, and the controls that need to be in place to mitigate those hazards.
However, simply having a SWMS in place is not enough. It’s essential that the documentation is adequate and up-to-date to ensure the safety of your workers.
Firstly, let’s talk about the adequacy of a SWMS. An adequate SWMS should clearly identify the high-risk activities that require a SWMS, describe the steps required to complete the task safely, and identify the potential hazards and the controls that need to be in place to mitigate those hazards.
It’s also crucial that the SWMS is easy to understand and written in plain language. This is particularly important for workers who may not have a high level of literacy or English language proficiency. A SWMS that is difficult to understand or overly complicated is likely to be ignored or misunderstood, which can lead to accidents and injuries.
Another important aspect of an adequate SWMS is that it needs to be tailored to the specific needs of your workplace. It’s not enough to simply copy and paste a generic SWMS from the internet. Each workplace is unique, and the hazards and risks involved in each task will vary depending on a range of factors such as the equipment used, the layout of the workplace, and the skill level of the workers.
To ensure the adequacy of your SWMS, it’s a good idea to consult with your workers and involve them in the development of the SWMS. Workers are often the best source of information about the hazards and risks involved in a particular task, and involving them in the process can help to increase their buy-in and ensure that the SWMS is practical and effective.
Now, let’s talk about the importance of keeping your SWMS up-to-date. A SWMS is not a set-and-forget document. It needs to be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and effective.
If there are changes to the equipment, processes, or procedures in your workplace, or if a new hazard is identified, your SWMS needs to be updated to reflect these changes. Failure to do so can result in an outdated SWMS that does not accurately reflect the hazards and risks involved in a particular task, which can lead to accidents and injuries.
It’s also important to ensure that your workers are aware of any changes to the SWMS and that they are trained in the updated procedures and controls. This can help to ensure that they are able to work safely and effectively, and that they are aware of the potential hazards and risks involved in their tasks.
In conclusion, the adequacy of your SWMS documentation is crucial to ensuring the safety of your workers and visitors. An adequate SWMS should clearly identify the high-risk activities that require a SWMS, describe the steps required to complete the task safely, and identify the potential hazards and the controls that need to be in place to mitigate those hazards.
It’s important to ensure that your SWMS is easy to understand, tailored to the specific needs of your workplace, and regularly reviewed and updated to reflect any changes. By doing so, you can help to ensure that your workplace is safe and that your workers are able to carry out their tasks in a safe and effective manner.
