SWMS AUS

Manual Handling (Rendering and Texture Coating)

Handling render bags, lime, coating pails, insulation board, mixers, hoses and tools on the ground and on scaffolds and platforms during rendering and coating work.

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

Objective

Control strain, crush and dropped loads by breaking down the lift, using trolleys and hoists, staging materials at the work face and keeping loads away from platform edges.

This is the Rendering and Texture Coating version. The hazards and controls are written around rendering and texture coating work, so it differs from the other 104 trade versions of Manual Handling. Compare all 105.

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 manual handling (rendering and texture coating) 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 Rendering and Texture Coating pack bundles this with the rest and works out cheaper. New to it? Here's what goes in a SWMS.

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 SWMS pack with your logo and company details. We’ll write it for you →
