When to use it
Before any high risk construction work starts
When a client or principal contractor asks for a SWMS
For any high-risk task outside construction, where a SWMS works as a written task risk assessment in the same way as a JSA or Safe Work Procedure
 
Not just for construction
A SWMS is only legally required for high risk construction work, but every business has to manage the risks of its work. Many businesses use a SWMS to record a task risk assessment for jobs like warehouse work, cleaning, farm tasks and working around the public. Clients and head contractors often ask for one whatever the work is.
