It's in this section of the SWMS template that you can document the required level of training which everyone who participates in this work requires. For most high risk construction activities, people require a certain level of training. Training and instructions to be provided - The core of a safe work method statement is the job steps of that specific high risk construction activity, but outlining the other core safety practices, procedures and rules behind these operations is crucial too. If there are issues later down the track or if something was missed or non-compliant, it helps to be able to look back and understand who worked on what and why. Some other SWMS details - Including the parties or people who helped develop and review this safe work method statement can be really important. For example, maybe the safe work method statement is for working at heights, but maybe it's for a specific type of working at heights which you could further denote in this section of the template. The activity - You can have the type of high risk activity the SWMS was created for at the top of the document, but it's usually helpful to have it in at least one other place to clarify and add detail to the activity. so you'll need to have a place to 'place' your details on a SWMS template. Project details - Different companies have different approaches to how often they review and adjust their SWMS, but each project should have a specific SWMS which is created and maintained specifically to cater to that environment, that site, the other parties involved etc. Organisational details - A neat organisational details table at the top of your safe work method statement enables you to stamp all of your important information on each SWMS record, along with the contact person. You can view the template layout below in graphic format, but here is a general overview of the different sections of the template: All of the above safe work method statement templates share a similar structure, because there are some objective 'best practices' when it comes to the makeup of any safe work method statement.
