Construction SWMS Templates

Construction environments bring together multiple trades, heavy plant, structural work and constantly changing conditions. With so many high-risk tasks occurring on Australian building sites, having clear, compliant Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) is essential for managing WHS obligations.

BlueSafe provides a curated collection of Construction SWMS templates designed for builders, carpenters, concreters, formworkers, labourers, supervisors and all trades operating in residential, commercial and civil construction.

Each SWMS is aligned with the requirements for High Risk Construction Work (HRCW) and is designed to be practical for real site conditions.
