Frequently asked questions
- What is a Safe Work Method Statement?
- A SWMS is a document required under WHS Regulation 299 for the 18 categories of high-risk construction work (HRCW). It identifies the work, the hazards, the controls and how the controls will be monitored, reviewed and signed off.
- Which states does it cover?
- All harmonised states (NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, WA, TAS, ACT, NT). Victoria's OHS Act 2004 terminology is supported alongside Model WHS where activities cross both regimes.
- Does the PCBU still need to consult workers?
- Yes. Consultation with workers (or HSRs) is a duty under WHS. Riskora produces the document; consultation is a process you complete with your crew before sign-on.
- Is it free to start?
- Yes — first SWMS is free, no card.
