Free SWMS gap check: what does your safe work method statement leave out?
Paste the text of your SWMS for high risk construction work. The page checks it against the content rules in the WHS Regulations and lists what it finds and what it does not. It takes seconds, and the text you paste never leaves your browser.
A checklist, not advice. This tool looks for words in the text you paste and lists which content rules it finds. It cannot judge whether your controls are safe or whether your SWMS meets the law. It is not legal or safety advice. Check your state regulator's guidance before you rely on any SWMS. Your text stays in your browser and is not sent anywhere. Independent site, not run by any regulator.
What it looks for
- Whether the SWMS names the high risk construction work, the hazards and risks, the control measures, and how controls are implemented, monitored and reviewed.
- Whether it says it is based on the circumstances at the workplace, is readable, says to stop work if not followed, and goes to the principal contractor.
- Where your text mentions them: fall controls beyond a harness or PPE, asbestos licence and clearance, trench shoring, confined space permit and rescue, isolation for energised electrical work.
