This one is the same document in every trade that uses it, so there is no trade-specific version to choose between. It is included in the 4 packs listed below, and buying it once covers all of them.

Built by WHS professionals, written for your state

Every document is built by WHS professionals. 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.

When you'd use this SWMS

If telehandler 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.
