Automotive and Mechanical SWMS Templates
Automotive and mechanical workshops bring together hoists, jacks, power tools, hazardous chemicals and moving vehicles. Without clear Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), mechanics and apprentices can be exposed to serious risks such as crush injuries, burns and chemical exposure.
BlueSafe provides a range of Automotive and Mechanical SWMS templates specifically designed for car, truck and machinery workshops, as well as mobile repairers.
Our SWMS documents help you standardise safe procedures across servicing, repairs and maintenance, whether you operate a small independent workshop or manage a large fleet maintenance facility.
What’s Included in Automotive and Mechanical SWMS?
Each Automotive SWMS template typically includes:
- identification of workshop hazards such as lifting, rotating parts, hot work and chemical exposure
- control measures including isolation, guarding, ventilation and PPE
- step-by-step procedures for common service and repair tasks
- requirements for hoists, jacks, stands and lifting equipment
- spill response, fire safety and emergency procedures
- sign-off section for mechanics, apprentices and supervisors
These templates are ideal for toolbox talks, staff inductions and safety audits in workshop environments.
