Garden Maintenance WHS Management System & SWMS Pack Contents

Below is the complete document structure for our AS/NZS ISO 45001-aligned Garden Maintenance WHS Management System, bundled with a full pack of Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS). This page maps out every policy, procedure, register, checklist, form and SWMS included, organised by clause so you can see what's covered and quickly find what you need.

Supplied in fully editable Microsoft Word format, the system is built for garden maintenance businesses to implement without starting from scratch or hiring a consultant. Not every document will apply to every business — anything outside your operations can simply be removed from your system. Browse the sections below to explore the full contents.
