Construction Night Works (Traffic Management)

Construction and traffic management works carried out during night hours under artificial lighting, including set-up, plant operation, manual control and pack-down where darkness, fatigue and impaired drivers raise the risk.

SWMS template. Editable Word document, written for your state, ready to adapt to the job.

Objective

Complete the work safely by controlling struck-by impaired and speeding drivers in darkness, reduced visibility and shift fatigue through task lighting, retroreflective day/night class hi-vis conspicuity, an illuminated traffic guidance scheme and a fatigue management plan.

This is the Traffic Management version. The hazards and controls are written around traffic management work, so it differs from the other 1 trade versions of Construction Night Works. Compare all 2.

Your state's laws, in the document

Each state version references the Act, regulator, and requirements for the state you select. Victoria gets the OHS Act and WorkSafe Victoria, NSW gets the WHS Act and SafeWork NSW.

NSW WHS Act 2011 VIC OHS Act 2004 QLD WHS Act 2011 SA WHS Act 2012 WA WHS Act 2020 TAS WHS Act 2012 NT WHS (National Uniform Legislation) Act 2011 ACT WHS Act 2011 National Model WHS Act (national)

When you'd use this SWMS

If construction night works (traffic management) is part of your job, the builder or head contractor will usually want a SWMS for it before you start on site. This one's editable in Word. Add your company and site details, check the hazards and controls against the actual job, and get your crew to sign on before work starts.

Not sure whether you need one? When a SWMS is required covers it, and the 18 high risk construction work categories are the list a principal contractor works from.

Doing the whole trade? The Traffic Management pack bundles this with the rest and works out cheaper. New to it? Here's what goes in a SWMS.
