Create a Safe Work Method Statement Fast

Before starting work on a construction site, you’ll typically need to submit a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS). This is a mandatory requirement for most on-site tasks you plan to carry out.

Creating an SWMS involves outlining all the tasks your team will complete and specifying which employees will be responsible for each task.

You also need to ensure the following:

  • identify all tasks to be completed by each person from your company
  • confirm that every worker understands their assigned tasks
  • check they understand the risks associated with each task or activity being performed on site
  • ensure they have signed off that they understand each task and associated risks.

It is a lot of work and will take a lot of time to complete.

David,
You and your team have done an awesome job with the site and these templates. They are really useful and a time saver. I wish if you could divide them in different categories and have different bundles, it might be easier for users to navigate and decide which one to buy.
Anyway, awesome site, awesome content, and thank you for helping me out.

Best regards,
Tariq

Buying something off the internet always comes with a certain amount of risk. I had full confidence buying this template from you because firstly it is through Paypal and secondly, you offer a 100% money back guarantee if I am not happy.

However, I didn’t need to request a refund because it was perfect for my needs. Thank you for saving me “tons” of time!

Simple, hassle-free, effective!
Like other reviewers here, I too was looking for a no-frills Standard Operating Procedures template, and when I got to David’s site, that was exactly what I saw, a purpose-made template that cuts to the chase and delivers exactly what any small business needs. Dave was also able to respond very quickly and generously to a peculiar request that I made via e-mail, so you can be assured there is a great human face behind the site 🙂 . Totally delighted with my purchase, and I strongly recommend these templates particularly for small and growing businesses looking to standardise their processes quickly.
