SWMS Writing & Development
Build a Safer, More Compliant Workplace
At SSOS, we specialise in developing Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) that enhance workplace safety and regulatory compliance. A well-structured SWMS is crucial for identifying risks, implementing control measures, and ensuring a safe working environment.
Our expert consultants collaborate with your team to create customised SWMS tailored to your industry and operational requirements. By implementing clear and practical safety documentation, businesses can improve efficiency, minimise risks, and meet Work Health and Safety (WHS) obligations. Let us simplify the process for you - ensuring compliance without unnecessary complexity.



What is a SWMS?
A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a legally required document that outlines high-risk construction work activities, potential hazards, and the control measures in place to minimise risks. Proper SWMS documentation not only safeguards workers but also demonstrates a business’s commitment to maintaining a compliant and safe work environment.
By implementing an effective SWMS, businesses can:
- Reduce workplace accidents and injuries
- Meet legal and regulatory requirements under WHS laws
- Improve operational efficiency by defining safe work practices
- Strengthen business credibility with contractors, clients, and regulatory bodies

SWMS Compliance in Australia
Ensuring a compliant and well-structured SWMS is not just a legal requirement - it’s a crucial step in protecting workers, reducing liabilities, and improving business efficiency. In Australia, high-risk construction work must adhere to strict safety protocols, and a SWMS is a critical tool in meeting these obligations.
With SSOS, businesses can navigate SWMS requirements confidently, ensuring compliance with Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws while fostering a culture of safety and responsibility.
Frequently asked questions
SWMS is legally required for all businesses involved in high-risk construction work. This includes construction companies, contractors, and trade professionals operating in environments where risks such as working at heights, exposure to hazardous substances, or operating heavy machinery exist.
A Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) is responsible for ensuring a SWMS is in place before high-risk construction work begins. However, expert safety consultants like BuildSafe Consulting can assist in preparing and implementing an effective SWMS.
A SWMS should be reviewed regularly, especially when new work activities, hazards, or safety regulations emerge. Additionally, if an incident occurs, the SWMS must be reassessed to identify necessary improvements.
While a general SWMS can be used as a template, it must be tailored to each specific worksite and task to ensure relevance and compliance with site-specific conditions.
We provide end-to-end support, from assessing workplace hazards to developing a tailored SWMS and ensuring compliance through training and ongoing guidance.
