SWMS AUS

Site Establishment & Setout (Welding and Fabrication)

Establishing the work area including site inspection, induction, amenities, access, exclusion zones and marking out before fabrication or installation work begins.

Objective

Complete the work safely by controlling unidentified site hazards, public and traffic interfaces and mobile plant movements through induction, site inspection, signage and exclusion zones.

This is the Welding and Fabrication version. The hazards and controls are written around welding and fabrication 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 (welding and fabrication) 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.
