At the heart of every safe work site is a comprehensive Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS). Our Mortar Sprayer SWMS Template acknowledges this need and has been designed to offer you a practical, user-friendly yet meticulous approach to workplace health and safety standards.
Pre-filled and Comprehensive: This template provides you with an exhaustive layout that has been filled in as an example. This way, you’re not starting from scratch, but refining upon a structure that considers all aspects of a safe workplace.
Fully editable in Microsoft Word format for easy editing: You can tweak the template as per your needs. Everything from changing the project details to adding specific safety measures is effortless. If you can type on a keyboard, you can customise this template.
Includes the scope of the project and project details: Without knowing the boundaries of your job, you can’t predict the potential hazards. That’s why this template includes set sections for defining the project scope, work expected, timelines, and roles clearly.
Includes checklist of any high-risk machinery on-site: To help you ensure dangerous equipment is handled safely, we’ve provided a section specifically for high-risk machinery checks so you’re never left guessing about compliance or worker protection.
Includes space for recording any staff training: Effective training is your best defence against workplace accidents. This template makes it simple to record who has received relevant training, ensuring everyone on site is well-prepared to work safely.
Includes before and after risk ratings: Assessments are meaningless without review. Record your initial risk rating and then your revised rating post-control to illustrate the impact of your safety measures.
Includes resources for use of legislative references: Keeping up with relevant legislation can be tough. We’ve included resources that help understand and apply the most pertinent regulations in a practical manner.
Includes all PPE required: Never overlook essential protective measures with our dedicated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) section. This ensures you’re always in line with mandatory safety standards.
Includes risk assessment and risk assessment matrix: Understand and classify your worksite risks with our helpful risk assessment grid. It urges you to weigh the potential impact of an accident against each hazard’s likelihood, providing a clearer picture of priority areas.
Includes a checklist to ensure all requirements have been covered when implementing the SWMS: Overseeing all these safety aspects may feel overwhelming, but our checklist makes it simple to gauge how thoroughly you’ve plunged into various safety analyses.
Includes sign-off page for all workers and responsible persons: Accountability is key to success. The template concludes with a sign-off section where everyone can confirm they’ve understood the risks, controls, and expectations laid out in your SWMS.
Easy to use, easy to customise: We’ve worked hard to create a system that is straightforward, time-saving and puts health and safety first.
Suitable for large contracts and Tenders, including tier 1 contractual work: Regardless of the size or complexity of your project, this template is built to meet industry needs and standards, giving you the confidence to take on any contract.
Quick delivery by email: Once purchased, this digital document will wing its way to your preferred emailing directly without you having todo anything else.
No matter your trade, if you’re working with a mortar sprayer, this template is a helpful ally for ensuring every box is ticked when it comes to meeting your occupational health and safety obligations.
