Product Overview
This Boat Building SWMS is a site-ready Safe Work Method Statement designed to identify hazards and implement controls for all stages of boat and vessel construction. It is a comprehensive, task-specific document covering multiple aspects of boat building safety to support WHS compliance on Australian worksites.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Assembly of boat hulls, including lifting, positioning, bracing and securing of hull sections
- Participation in shipbuilding activities within workshops, yards and slipways, including coordination with other trades
- Use of power tools and hand tools for cutting, drilling, grinding and finishing of timber, aluminium, steel and composite materials
- Application, mixing and handling of resins, adhesives, sealants, paints and coatings, including ventilation and fume control
- Operation of lifting equipment such as cranes, hoists, slings and forklifts for moving hulls, frames and heavy components
- Working at height on scaffolds, platforms, ladders and within dry docks during hull and superstructure construction
- Control of noise, vibration and dust during sanding, grinding, blasting and other surface preparation tasks
- Manual handling of long, awkward or heavy boat components to minimise musculoskeletal injuries
- Use of electrical equipment, extension leads and portable RCDs in marine construction environments
- Fire and explosion risk management when welding, cutting, brazing or hot work is undertaken near flammable products
- Housekeeping, traffic management and segregation of pedestrian and plant movement in boatyards and fabrication areas
- Emergency response planning for spills, fires, medical incidents and vessel movement during construction
