SWMS Construction Template

SWMS is also known as a Safe Operating Procedure or Job Safety Analysis. Usually the primary on contractor or subcontractor will complete the SWMS Construction Template mobile app. It is important that this is completed in consultation with those who actually carry out the construction job. This will give a more complete understanding into the various steps involved in the job and the risks that may be encountered while performing the job. This will also encourage ownership and commitment to the safe working procedures by those doing the job. A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is an explanation of all phases that need to be completed on a job, all steps. From arriving on-site, unloading the vehicle, checking the workplace, carrying out the job, clearing the workplace, loading the vehicle and exiting site. Its purpose is to show that the people who are carrying out the work have thought through the whole process, assessed any risks involved and taken suitable actions to minimize the risk to themselves, other people and properties.

A app generates a PDF version of your SWMS which is stored for your safety plan records in your GoCanvas account. GoCanvas store has Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) for specific areas of the construction industry.
