Site Establishment & Setout (Power Tools and Equipment)

Establishing the work area for power tool and equipment work - site inspection, induction, amenities, exclusion and signage, and setting out the work before tools are used.

Objective

Complete the work safely by controlling struck-by, traffic and public-interface hazards through site inspection, induction, clear access and a secured, barricaded work area.

This is the Power Tools and Equipment version. The hazards and controls are written around power tools and equipment work, so it differs from the other 48 trade versions of Site Establishment & Setout. Compare all 49.

Built by WHS professionals, written for your state

Every document is built by WHS professionals. Each state version references the Act, regulator, and requirements for the state you select. Victoria gets the OHS Act and WorkSafe Victoria, NSW gets the WHS Act and SafeWork NSW.

When you'd use this SWMS

If site establishment & setout (power tools and equipment) is part of your job, the builder or head contractor will usually want a SWMS for it before you start on site. This one's editable in Word. Add your company and site details, check the hazards and controls against the actual job, and get your crew to sign on before work starts.
