Product Overview
This Fire Protection System Installation (Alarms and Sprinklers) Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a detailed safety planning document designed to identify hazards, assess risks, and implement controls for fire protection works on Australian worksites. It provides comprehensive coverage of multiple aspects of fire alarm and sprinkler installation to support WHS compliance and effective management of High Risk Construction Work.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Safe installation, wiring, and commissioning of fire alarm control panels and associated devices
- Installation of fire sprinkler systems including pipework, heads, valves, and associated fittings
- Planning and execution of fireproofing activities to protect structural elements and services
- Installation of heat detectors in accordance with manufacturer instructions and relevant standards
- Installation of smoke detectors, including positioning, mounting, and testing for correct operation
- Excavation and installation of in-ground fire mains, including trenching, shoring, and backfilling controls
- Relocation and moving of existing sprinkler systems, including isolation, draining, and re-pressurising
- Upgrading existing fire alarm systems, including de-energising, changeover, and system re-commissioning
- Selection and use of access equipment (ladders, mobile scaffolds, EWP) for working at heights during installation
- Management of hot works (cutting, grinding, soldering, brazing) associated with pipe and bracket installation
- Control of electrical risks when connecting to power supplies, control panels, and interface devices
- Manual handling of pipes, valves, detectors, and panels to minimise musculoskeletal injuries
- Housekeeping, waste management, and control of dust, noise, and other environmental impacts during installation
- Isolation, lock-out/tag-out, and coordination with other trades during commissioning and testing activities
