Metal Fabrication and Welding SWMS Templates
Metal fabrication and welding work involves high temperatures, sparks, fumes, heavy steel and complex assemblies. Without clear Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), workers can be exposed to burns, fires, fume inhalation and crush injuries.
BlueSafe offers a comprehensive range of Metal Fabrication and Welding SWMS templates tailored to the needs of fabrication shops, structural steel contractors and maintenance teams.
Our SWMS documents help you create consistent, compliant work methods across workshop production and onsite installation.
What’s Included in Metal Fabrication and Welding SWMS?
Each fabrication and welding SWMS template typically includes:
- identification of hazards such as hot surfaces, UV exposure, fumes, sparks and moving steel
- control measures including ventilation, fire protection, guarding and PPE
- step-by-step procedures for cutting, prepping, welding and finishing components
- requirements for welding plant, gas cylinders and power tools
- housekeeping, hot work permits and fire watch arrangements
- worker and supervisor sign-off sections
These templates are suitable for use in fabrication shops, engineering workshops and onsite structural steel projects.
