SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Your Safety Management System is the bone and muscle that enables and fuels the safe work procedures of a healthy working environment, enabling your people to work safely. An effective system will:

1. Help you reduce incidents and injuries,
2. Comply with all relevant laws, regulations, standards and codes,
3. Add to the competitiveness of your tendering processes,
4. Assist your personnel management, and
5. Expand the quality of your business outcomes and profit margins.

Our systems will guide you to achieve these outcomes. They will empower your people to be deliberate, consistent and effective in implementing and recording safe work tasks and practices. We help you do business with minimum risk.

Safety management systems are available for WHS Management Systems and OH&S Management Systems, both in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018.

You can buy just the WHS Management System or OH&S Management System, or you can purchase a discounted industry pack which include the management system of your choice as well as the trade or industry specific SWMS that are appropriate. Both WHS Management System & SWMS Packs and OH&S Management System & SWMS Packs are designed to empower your workplace safety in an industry specific way and ensure a healthy and safe workplace.

SAFE WORK METHOD STATEMENTS (SWMS)

Safe Work Method Statements began to replace Job Safety Analysis (JSA) or hazard risk assessment and Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) documents in 2011. Sadly, it took the tragic 2003 death of 16-year-old Joel Exner (an apprentice roofer) - and a loud and persistent furore in the years that followed - to make change happen. Since then, however, Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) have become the staple resource of construction industry WHS (Work Health and Safety) or OH&S (Occupational Health and Safety) practices.

A SWMS resource is required for a range of high-risk construction work tasks or activities, but their use has also been extended into almost every aspect of any safe work procedure - such is their effectiveness and efficiency in supporting workers to identify control measures, control risks and stay safe.

'SWMS' has indeed become a very good four-letter 'word'.

Our safe work method statements:

1. Fully comply with WHS (work health and safety) legislation, relevant regulations, codes of practice and standards.
2. Contain all the information necessary as well as helpful extras.
3. Are appropriately labelled as required.
4. Sequence activities logically.
5. identify hazards and clear risk factors.
6. Describe control measures.
7. Describe implementation, monitoring and review actions.
8. Clarify and communicate what is essential and what is not.
9. Make it very clear who is responsible.
10. Do this without overwhelming or distracting the user.
11. Direct workers to additional data where appropriate.

We've received a lot of positive feedback about our SWMS documents. We're pleased they convey this clear, essential and compelling message: "Be careful! Plan, think and follow these specific steps."

You'll find all our SWMS resources here, and in the same location, you can filter the resources by industry. We are super happy to help you ensure a safe workplace.

INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS

Our industry-specific solutions are package solutions that look after specialists. They include:

• A WHS or OH&S Management System,
• Trade or industry-specific Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), and
• Additional safety documents of relevance and value, if applicable.

Assembled using our team's workplace experience, expertise in resourcing a type of safe work procedure, and the immeasurable wisdom that comes from helping thousands of customers identify hazards and solve their challenges over 15 years, these package solutions have proven themselves as wise and economic investments time and again.

If by chance you have a different need or an unusual situation we have not covered, give us a call, and we'll discuss your options.

From air conditioning and audio-visual, through concreting and painting, to roofing and welding, we have industry packs for 25 specialisations. If we don't already have you covered, please give us a call and we may be able to create a custom solution with you.

Beyond safety management systems, SWMS resources and industry pack solutions, what remains is a range of additional safety document templates and the more specialised and highly sought-after management plan templates (used for a specific type of project and site).

ADDITIONAL SAFETY DOCUMENT TEMPLATES

You can access safety document templates to supplement another purchase, solve an immediate and specific need, or create a bespoke solution. Unless you're an unusually specialised or small operation, this won't be the most effective way to go - but we've catered for it just in case.

To use this section effectively, you should know the following:

• What safe work procedures you want to resource.
• What search terms or labels are likely to be effective (there are a lot of documents).

If you do feel equipped for the task:

1. Open the WHS Documents or OH&S Documents list,
2. Use the "Sort" function (top right) to view and search the "Best Selling" list.
3. (If necessary) check the "A-Z" list.

If still unsure, give us a call on 1800 304 336. We're here to help.

A FINAL WORD ON ATTAINING YOUR 'SAFE WORK PRACTICE SANITY'

Remember Joel Exner, the 16 year old boy who fell from a roof while an apprentice? We mentioned when talking about control measures used in SWMSs. He changed the Work Health and Safety (WHS and OH&S) landscape forever. HE impacted Andrew Watters, our business founder and principle also. Andrew was working on site, close by, on the day that tragedy happened. On that day, work health and safety topics became very, very real, and very, very personal. Everyone deserves to work in a healthy and safe workplace. This can only be acheived by using safe work procedures and ensuring equipment is in good working condition.

With absolute sincerity we tell you a devotion to both individual lives and individual businesses keeps us focused. These necessary foci guide and drive us, and it is why we know two sure truths: all safety resources are not created equal, and our solutions genuinely are exceptional. We assist employers in supporting workers use safe work procedures, control risks and ensuring a safe workplace. Safe Work Practice is foundational!

Our resources are:

• Supported by relationship, not a 'see ya' one-time sale event.
• Compliant across jurisdictions, not single-state focused.
• Affordably priced, not expensive and exploitive.
• Well researched, not casually compiled.
• Comprehensive, not piecemeal.
• Systematic, not chaotic.
• Flexible, not restrictive.
• Dynamic, not static.

We hope the information shared is helpful, and we encourage you to make the call so we can walk the journey with you.
