Who this is for
Used across Roofing. Suits contractors, subcontractors and crews who carry out Roofing - Tiled as part of their work.
When you'll be asked for one

What's in the document
Editable Word file with fields for your company, site address, date, personnel and crew sign-on. The steps, hazards, risk ratings and controls are already drafted, so you review and adjust rather than start from a blank page.

Common questions
Is a JSA the same as a SWMS for Roofing - Tiled?
No. A SWMS is required for high-risk construction work under the WHS Regulations. Roofing - Tiled does not usually fall into those categories on its own, though principal contractors and builders often ask for documentation before you get on site.
What does this Roofing - Tiled JSA cover?
It works through 7 job steps, including plan and assess the roof, set up edge protection and access, load out materials to the roof and remove old tiles (re-roof). Each step lists the hazards for that step, an initial risk rating, the control measures and the residual risk once those controls are in place.
Is this JSA state-specific?
JSAs are national. Our SWMS are written per state because the Act and regulator differ, but a JSA is a risk-assessment tool rather than a state-legislated document.
Can I edit it and add my logo?
It is an editable Word document. Add your company details and logo, then adjust the steps, hazards and controls to match the actual Roofing - Tiled job in front of you.
Who fills it out and who signs it?
Whoever is running the job completes the site-specific fields, then reads it against the actual conditions: adding the hazards on that site and anything specific to how the business works, and taking out what does not apply. Everyone doing the work signs on before it starts, and the document includes a worker sign-on sheet for that.

Need a safety document we don’t have?
Our catalogue covers 105 trades, but not every job fits one. If a principal contractor has asked for something specific, or the work you do is not in the list, we write it from scratch for your trade and your state. Same format as everything else here: editable Word, your state's Act and regulator, ready to put your details on. We can also brand your JSA pack with your logo and company details. We’ll write it for you →
