Plumbing and Gasfitting SWMS Templates

Plumbing and gasfitting work includes excavation, hot work, work in confined spaces and interaction with other trades. Without robust Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), plumbers can be exposed to trench collapses, burns, gas leaks and service strikes.

BlueSafe offers a comprehensive set of Plumbing and Gasfitting SWMS templates to support safe work practices across domestic, commercial and civil hydraulic projects.

Our templates are suitable for new builds, refurbishments, maintenance and infrastructure works.

What’s Included in Plumbing and Gasfitting SWMS?

Each Plumbing SWMS template typically includes:

• hazard identification for excavation, hot work, pressure, confined spaces and services
• control measures including shoring, isolation, permits and PPE
• step-by-step sequences for installation, testing and commissioning
• requirements for tools, plant and testing equipment
• emergency response and incident reporting guidance
• worker and supervisor sign-off sections

These templates are ideal for inclusion in plumbing WHS plans and job packs.
