Before your crew walks on site, the principal contractor or client wants your SWMS. Usually the day before start, usually for work that’s been planned for a month. That’s the reality of getting through a site induction, and it’s also what the WHS Regulations require: a safe work method statement prepared before High-Risk Construction Work (HRCW) begins.

Our SWMS are fully editable Microsoft Word (.docx) files, not a portal login. You can edit the risk controls to match the site if required, add any additional plant or equipment you’re using, complete the risk assessment, sign it and hand it over. We’ve been writing them since 2010 and over 15,000 Australian businesses are using them.

The high-risk construction work that needs a SWMS

Falls first. Anything with a risk of falling more than 2 metres, which on a normal build starts at first floor framing and doesn’t stop until the roof is on. Edge protection, fall arrest anchor ratings, who checks the harness and how often.

Excavation is the next one. A trench or excavation deeper than 1.5 metres needs a SWMS, and so does any work near underground gas or electrical services. Shore it or batter it back, and keep the spoil well clear of the edge.

Demolition of a load-bearing element counts, as does structural alteration that needs temporary support to stop collapse. Disturbing asbestos is on the list too, which matters on every refurbishment of a building put up before the ban.

Then there’s plant and equipment. A workplace where powered mobile plant is moving is high risk construction work in its own right, so the excavator and the concrete truck both need to appear in the traffic plan. Add confined space entry and anything done on or beside a road that’s still open to traffic.

What’s in the Construction SWMS Collection?

The Construction SWMS collection carries 81 documents which can all be viewed above and in the Construction SWMS Pack. The trade tasks are covered: site establishment, excavation and trenching, concreting and pumping, demolition and asbestos work. So is the access side of a build, where working at height, fixed scaffold, elevated work platforms and confined space entry each get a document of their own. The rest is plant and site conditions, from earthmoving equipment and traffic management through to explosive power tools and silica dust control. Every SWMS is fully editable, so the controls can be modified if required to suit unique sites or varying client requirements.

One SWMS or the whole pack?

You can purchase individual Construction SWMS templates if that’s all you need. If you’re a builder covering a whole job and a mixed crew, the Construction SWMS Pack gives you all 81 documents and a saving of over 80% Off the individual prices. No subscription and no per user fee. Use them on every job you win after this one.

15+ years and 15,000+ customers → We've been helping small and medium construction and trade businesses get their SWMS sorted since 2010. Our templates reflect real-world experience across the trades we serve - not generic documents assembled at a desk.

Pre-written and ready to use → Every SWMS template comes pre-filled with the hazards, risks, and control measures typical for that task and trade. You're not starting from a blank page - the hard work is already done. In most cases it's far quicker to delete what doesn't apply to your specific site than to research and write it yourself.

Legally compliant → Our SWMS templates are prepared in accordance with the Model WHS Regulations (Schedule 3), Safe Work Australia Codes of Practice and relevant Australian Standards. They're structured to meet all the requirements of a compliant SWMS - so you can use them with confidence on site, in tenders, and in audits.

Fully editable in Microsoft Word → Everything is supplied in .docx format. Add your company and site details, adjust the control measures to reflect your specific conditions if required, and you're done. No software subscriptions, no locked PDFs.

Pay once, use on every job → No ongoing fees, no per-project charges. Purchase a template once and use it across unlimited sites, projects, and tenders. When we update documents, existing customers receive discounts on revised versions.

Free phone and email support → When you purchase from us you get access to the same people who built the documents - not a call centre, not a chatbot. If you're unsure how to customise a SWMS for your specific site conditions, or a principal contractor is asking questions you can't answer, call 1800 304 336 and we'll help you work through it.

Honest advice → If you need one SWMS, we'll sell you one SWMS. If an industry pack makes more sense for your situation, we'll tell you that too. We're not here to push you toward the most expensive option - we're here to help you end up with the right documents for your actual needs.

Occupational Safety Solutions have taken all of the hard work out of WHS Management System documentation. The knowledge and support of the staff is amazing and the templates are so user friendly, they have made completing this paperwork stress-less!

We are honestly so impressed by the coverage and depth that each document goes into. The "how to roll it out" document has been so helpful in making this daunting task seem achievable. We couldn't be happier!

Thank you to Andrew and team for all of your support, highly recommended!

As a small-medium business, we recently went through a period of accelerated growth and along with that came the need to update our existing WHS system to something much more robust.

Occupational Safety Solutions helped bring our documentation up to speed and provided guidance to ensure we are aligned with best practice for all of our WHS processes and procedures. Andrew has come to the rescue more than once when we needed new or refined documents for specific tenders and updated Safe Work Method Statements.

OSS are reasonably priced and responsive with fast turn around times. Honestly, we couldn't be happier with the service provided by OSS and would highly recommend to any organisation looking to update their WHS systems.
