PRACTICAL PROMPT
Review a SWMS before work starts
Use this prompt to check whether the SWMS describes the actual work, hazards, controls and follow-up.
CHECK THE DOCUMENT AGAINST THE WORK
A SWMS should help people do the job safely.
Work through the questions with the people preparing, supervising and doing the work. Record what needs clarification before the task begins.
This is a general review prompt. It is not a SWMS, legal advice or a substitute for the requirements in your state, territory or Commonwealth jurisdiction. A competent person should prepare and review the document for the actual work.
