SWMS AUS

Site Assessment & Set-Up Position

Assessing the pour site before the pump arrives and choosing the set-up position - access, ground, slope, overhead lines, excavations, structures, traffic and the reach the pour needs.

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

Objective

Choose a position from which the pump can stand safely on its outriggers, reach the whole pour, stay clear of every power line and excavation, and be reached by agitator trucks without reversing through the crew.

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 site assessment & set-up position 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 Concrete Pumping pack bundles this with the rest and works out cheaper. New to it? Here's what goes in a SWMS.

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.
