SafeWork NSW - Module 5 - Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)

This workshop is designed for construction site supervisors to further develop their understanding of their obligations for managing work health and safety (WHS) at the worksite. The workshop also helps supervisors recognise and manage the major harms associated with the building and construction industry.

The virtual workshop is designed to further develop a construction site or trade supervisors’ skills in understanding:

• What the WHS legislation requires you to do with respect to Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)
• When a Safe Work Method Statement is required
• What a Safe Work Method Statement should contain
• What is high risk construction work.

This virtual workshop is designed for anyone who:

• is employed as a construction site or trade supervisor, manger, or foreman
• formally or informally supervises less experienced workers

Construction Site Supervisors have critical responsibilities and duties for health and safety on a construction or building site. This virtual workshop is designed for you to learn from our experienced team of Safety Inspectors. Let’s make safety easy to do in Construction.

Participation in these workshops may contribute to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) subject to criteria set by Fair Trading NSW.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our workshops soon.
