2. Identify and document the High Risk Construction Work to be performed immediately if the SWMS cannot be complied with.
3. Identify and document the Site PPE requirements for the task. 6. Observe work being performed. If controls are inadequate, Stop work, review the SWMS, implement
additional controls and re-brief the team
4. Document any additional work methods, tasks and hazards identified on site and the control measures
required to mitigate the associated risks 7.Sign onto the amended SWMS before recommencing after any SWMS revision.

This task involves the following High Risk Construction Work –

SAFE PLACE 1. Eliminate any risk to health or safety associated with the work such as isolate and lock out the energy at it’s source.
Risk Control Best Option 2. Reduce the risk to health or safety by any one or any combination of the following:
Identify the control options and • Substituting a new activity, procedure, plant, process or substance,
choose the control measure that is as • Isolating persons from the hazard, such as barricading, fencing or guardrailing, or
close to level 1 as is reasonably • Using Engineering controls, such as lifting devices.
practicable. SAFE PERSON
3. Use Administrative controls, such as changing the way the work is done. Permits, Work Instructions & Training.
Worst Option
4. Personal Protective Equipment is the last line of defence and should be used in conjunction with higher order controls.
