Transport and Logistics SWMS Templates

Transport and logistics operations involve vehicle movements, load handling, time pressures and varied delivery environments. Without clear Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), drivers and yard staff may be exposed to significant manual handling and traffic-related risks.

BlueSafe provides a targeted set of Transport and Logistics SWMS templates to support safer freight handling, deliveries and depot operations.

Our templates are suitable for local couriers, regional freight and national logistics providers.

  • step-by-step procedures for preparing loads, travelling and completing deliveries
  • requirements for forklifts, pallet jacks, tailgates and trolleys
