SWMS AUS

Painting

All painting and decorating works - preparation and sanding (incl. lead paint), interior and exterior brush/roller application, spraying, work at height, wallpapering and protective coatings. This single SWMS covers the full painting scope for contractors who do not require task-specific documents.

Objective

To carry out all painting so that lead and dust hazards are controlled, solvents and 2-pack products cannot poison or ignite, falls are prevented by correct access, and occupants, the public and the environment are protected from set-up through execution to clean-up.

When you'd use this SWMS

If painting 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.
