Product Overview
This Tilt Up Concrete Panels Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is designed to identify, control, and minimise risks associated with the lifting, positioning and securing of tilt-up and precast concrete wall panels. It is a comprehensive document that supports WHS compliance across all stages of tilt up concrete panel installation, including bracing, temporary support and associated site activities.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Planning and sequencing of tilt up concrete panel erection, including review of engineer’s drawings and lifting plans
- Selection, inspection and use of tilt panel braces for temporary support of panels
- Installation, adjustment and tensioning of tilt panel braces to maintain panel stability
- Crane lifting operations for raising, rotating and positioning tilt up concrete panels
- Use of certified lifting inserts, clutches, chains and rigging gear for panel handling
- Establishment of exclusion zones to protect workers and the public from falling panel hazards
- Working at heights on and around erected panels, including use of edge protection and fall arrest systems
- Fixing panels to foundations, slabs and structural steel, including drilling, bolting and grouting tasks
- Management of concrete panel stability during high wind, storm events or unexpected ground movement
- Inspection and maintenance of braces, anchors and fixings throughout the construction phase
- Safe removal, loosening and dismantling of tilt panel braces once permanent structural support is in place
- Traffic and mobile plant management around panel erection zones, including cranes, EWPs and forklifts
- Emergency response procedures for panel movement, brace failure, or structural instability incidents
Who is this for?
This SWMS is designed for tilt-up and precast concrete contractors, commercial builders, riggers, crane crews, and site supervisors involved in the erection and bracing of tilt up concrete panels.
