Product Overview
This Install Hydraulic Systems SWMS is a site-ready Safe Work Method Statement designed to identify hazards, implement controls, and support WHS compliance when installing hydraulic equipment and pipework. It provides comprehensive coverage of planning, installation, testing, and commissioning activities associated with hydraulic systems installation on Australian worksites.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Planning and preparation of hydraulic installation works, including site assessment, service locating, and permit requirements
- Selection, inspection, and safe use of tools, plant, and lifting equipment for hydraulic system components
- Manual handling of pipes, hoses, pumps, valves, and fittings to minimise musculoskeletal injuries
- Safe cutting, threading, bending, and preparation of hydraulic pipes and hoses
- Installation and securing of hydraulic pipework, hoses, and fittings to prevent leaks, movement, or failure
- Use of sealants, lubricants, and cleaning agents, including controls for hazardous chemicals
- Working around energised plant and equipment, including isolation, lockout/tagout, and verification of zero energy
- Connection of hydraulic lines to machinery, manifolds, cylinders, and control valves
- Pressure testing, bleeding air, and commissioning of hydraulic systems to prevent hose whip and component failure
- Management of stored energy in accumulators, cylinders, and pressurised lines
- Control of slips, trips, and falls from oil spills, hoses, tools, and offcuts in the work area
- Working in restricted or awkward spaces when routing hydraulic lines through plant or structures
- Environmental management of hydraulic oil spills, leaks, and waste disposal
- Emergency response procedures for hydraulic failures, high-pressure injection injuries, and fire
Who is this for?
This SWMS is designed for hydraulic installers, mechanical fitters, maintenance technicians, plant and equipment manufacturers, and site supervisors responsible for hydraulic system installation and commissioning.
