Personnel Summary
SUPERVISOR’S DETAILS
Supervisor’s Responsibilities: In addition to the above, the supervisor is to provide training in the use of this SWMS, issue PPE and provide training in the same, supervise the
work, ensure conformity with this SWMS, amend the SWMS when additional hazards are found (and if applicable, ensure all workers receive a
tool-box talk to discuss the control measures for the additional hazards).
DESCRIPTION OF TRAINING THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH THE WORK
H&S GENERAL INDUCTION: All workers must have successfully completed industry induction training
WORK ACTIVITY TRAINING: All workers need to have been trained in the activities outlined in this safe work method statement.
SITE INDUCTION: All workers are to be site inducted by the Principal Contractor, prior to commencing work on site.
OTHER: (List other training undertaken by workers): (eg: Confined Space, Manual Handling, Traffic Control etc)
PERMITS or LICENCES REQUIRED to undertake this work (ie. Certificates of Competency, Confined Spaces etc):
N.B. - Copies of the above must be shown to the Principal Contractor during site induction.
All work to comply with the location H&S Acts and Regulations and amendments, Workplace Injury Management & Workers Compensation Acts
We agree that we have been consulted in the hazards and control measures and agree to complete the work in accordance with our Safe Work
Method Statement (SWMS).
We have been provided with training in all tasks outlined in our SWMS and in the Codes of Practice applicable to our work.
Any changes, additions or deletions made to this SWMS are to be covered with the above personnel and the Principal Contractors representative at a
Toolbox meeting (Record date and time of Toolbox meeting below):
