A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a legal document that sets out the high-risk construction work (HRCW) activities to be carried out at a workplace, the hazards arising from these activities, and the specific control measures used to manage the risks. Under 2026 WHS Regulations (s291), a SWMS is legally mandatory before commencing any of the 18 prescribed high-risk construction activities (e.g. working at heights >2m, demolition, trenching >1.5m, mobile plant, asbestos, or working near live electrical services).
