SWMS Aus

Working at Height

Master

All work at height - ladders and podiums, scaffolds, elevating work platforms, roof access, harness-based work and overhead work near powerlines. This single SWMS covers the full height-work scope for contractors who do not require task-specific documents.

Objective

To carry out all work at height so that falls of people and objects are prevented by the highest practicable control, equipment is rated and inspected, and rescue is always planned before anyone is at height.

Built by safety specialists — written for your state

Every document is built and audited by WHS professionals. Each state version references the correct Act, regulator, and requirements — Victoria gets the OHS Act and WorkSafe Victoria, NSW gets the WHS Act and SafeWork NSW. Different laws, different documents.
