Training:
All personnel who operate a utility vehicle must undergo training and be assessed as competent before operating a vehicle. The training must cover the following topics:
Documentation:

Gary’s Safety Tips
Hey there, Gary here. Today, let’s talk about a very important topic that all businesses should be aware of – the enforcement of Safe Work Method Statements.
Firstly, let’s define what a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is. In Australia, a SWMS is a written document that outlines the high-risk construction work activities and the hazards and risks associated with these activities. It also details the control measures that will be implemented to minimise the risks and ensure the safety of workers on the job site.
The purpose of a SWMS is to ensure that everyone involved in a high-risk construction work activity understands the hazards and risks associated with the work, and the control measures that must be implemented to ensure their safety. SWMS are mandatory for all high-risk construction work activities in Australia.
Now, let’s talk about the enforcement of SWMS. Employers have a legal obligation to ensure that SWMS are prepared and implemented for all high-risk construction work activities that are being undertaken by their employees or contractors. Employers must ensure that the SWMS is reviewed and updated as necessary, and that it is readily accessible to all workers on the job site.
It is important to note that failure to comply with the requirements of a SWMS can result in serious consequences. Employers can face fines and legal action, and workers can be put at risk of injury or death. The cost of not complying with SWMS requirements is simply not worth it.
To ensure that SWMS are enforced, it is important that employers take the necessary steps to educate their employees and contractors on the importance of SWMS and the consequences of non-compliance. Employers must also ensure that they are complying with all relevant legislation and regulations, and that they are providing their workers with the necessary training and resources to implement and follow SWMS.
In addition to education and training, employers should also consider implementing a system of regular audits and inspections to ensure that SWMS are being followed and that workers are complying with the control measures outlined in the SWMS. Employers should also encourage workers to report any issues or concerns related to SWMS compliance, and to provide feedback on the effectiveness of the control measures that have been implemented.
Ultimately, the enforcement of SWMS is essential to ensuring the safety of workers on high-risk construction work activities. It is the responsibility of employers to ensure that SWMS are prepared, implemented, and enforced for all high-risk construction work activities, and that workers are provided with the necessary education, training, and resources to comply with the requirements of the SWMS.
In conclusion, the enforcement of SWMS is a crucial aspect of ensuring workplace safety in Australia. Employers have a legal obligation to prepare and implement SWMS for all high-risk construction work activities, and failure to comply with these requirements can result in serious consequences. By educating workers, implementing regular audits and inspections, and providing the necessary training and resources, employers can ensure that SWMS are being enforced and that workers are safe on the job site. Remember, workplace safety is everyone’s responsibility.
