Australia Model Code of Practice: Construction Work 4.2a: 4.2 SWMS content: specific controls, accessible, workplace specific, generic versions reviewed

The SWMS must identify the high risk construction work, specify its hazards and risks, describe the controls and how they will be monitored and reviewed. Controls should be stated clearly, with nothing left for supervisors or workers to decide (for example not simply use appropriate PPE). The SWMS must be accessible and understandable to anyone who needs to use it, taking account of literacy and cultural and linguistic diversity. It must take into account the circumstances at the workplace that may affect how the work is done: the site, the environment and the workers. A generic SWMS for regular activities may be used but must be reviewed for the specific workplace and revised as needed. It may also record the person responsible for compliance and, for projects, the principal contractor's name, site address, preparation and handover dates and review date.
