Roof work is where the falls happen, and not always from the edge. Brittle sheeting accounts for a fair share of them, because a weathered fibre cement sheet gives way with no warning and no time to grab anything. Work where a person could fall more than two metres is High-Risk Construction Work (HRCW) under the WHS Regulations, which puts nearly every roofing job in scope before the ladder even comes off the ute.

These are the SWMS templates roofers get asked for by name. Supplied via instant download as fully editable Microsoft Word (.docx) documents, fill in the site details, edit the controls if required to suit the site, and hand over at induction. One payment covers you for every job after that. No subscription and no ongoing fees.

The high-risk construction work in roofing that needs a SWMS

Falls are the headline category, and the SWMS needs to say what’s actually holding the worker on the roof. Edge protection where it can be installed. A fall arrest system with a rated anchor and a rescue plan where it can’t, plus mesh or covers over skylights and translucent sheeting. Work on or near a fragile surface is called out separately for good reason. Asbestos is the other big one on anything built before the late 1980s, where cement sheet roofing and ridge capping need identifying before the first sheet is lifted, and licensed removal if that’s what it turns out to need. Lifting sheets or tiles with a truck mounted crane brings powered mobile plant into it, along with the crane’s slew radius and any overhead lines near the setup. Hot works on a roof deck are a fire risk with a fuel load underneath. Dry cutting tiles throws silica dust that hangs around long after the saw has stopped.

What’s in the Roofing SWMS Collection?

The Roofing SWMS collection carries 32 documents which can all be viewed above and in the Roofing SWMS Pack. There are SWMS for getting up there and staying on, meaning edge protection, harness work, fixed and mobile scaffold, elevated work platforms and ladders. There is the roof work itself, metal sheeting and tiling through to fascia, eaves and guttering, cladding, insulation and solar. And there is the plant and the older building work sitting around both, from truck mounted crane lifts to asbestos (working around and removal) on anything built before the late 1980s. 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 roofing SWMS templates if that’s all you need. If you’re on commercial work, or a builder has asked for SWMS across your whole scope, the Roofing SWMS Pack is the cheaper way: all 32 documents and a saving of 65% Off the individual prices, one payment, used on unlimited jobs.

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.

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.
