Product Overview
This Composite Repair Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a fully editable safety document designed to identify hazards, assess risks, and implement controls for all common composite and fibreglass repair activities, supporting strong WHS compliance on Australian worksites. It is a comprehensive, task-specific SWMS that covers multiple aspects of composite repair, bonding, and resin processing to help you manage High Risk Construction Work safely and efficiently.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Planning and preparation for composite and fibreglass repair works, including site assessment and job sequencing
- Fibreglass repairs to structural and non-structural components, including cutting, trimming, and surface restoration
- Performing composite bonding, including correct adhesive selection, mixing, application, clamping, and curing
- Repairs to fibre-glass laminates, panels, and mouldings using hand and power tools
- Resin processing, including safe handling, mixing, decanting, and curing of polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins
- Selection and use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for resins, solvents, dust, and fibre exposure
- Control of airborne dust and fibres from grinding, sanding, and cutting operations, including local exhaust ventilation
- Safe operation of powered tools (grinders, sanders, drills, polishers) used in composite repair tasks
- Management of hazardous chemicals, including resin systems, catalysts, hardeners, and cleaning solvents
- Storage, labelling, and segregation of resins, hardeners, and flammable liquids in accordance with safety data sheets (SDS)
- Housekeeping and spill management for resins, solvents, and dust to minimise slip, trip, and fire risks
- Manual handling of composite components, moulds, and repair materials, including team lifts and use of aids
- Fire and explosion risk controls associated with flammable resins, thinners, and vapours in enclosed areas
- Waste management and environmentally responsible disposal of resin containers, contaminated rags, and fibreglass offcuts
Who is this for?
This SWMS is designed for composite repair technicians, fibreglass fabricators, marine and automotive repairers, manufacturing workshops, and site supervisors overseeing composite repair activities.
