You can complete a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) in the HazardCo App for any high-risk construction work.
Open the HazardCo App.
Start a new SWMS for the high-risk construction work being carried out.
Work through the prompts to record the hazards, controls, and people involved.
Please Note: Your membership gives you access to over 25 easy-to-edit SWMS templates.
SWMS with Risk Matrix: For tenders, prequalification, or more complex work, use SWMS with Risk Matrix to assess hazards by mapping the likelihood and consequence of each risk. For most everyday jobs, a standard SWMS is all you need.

5. Check Your Health and Safety Documentation Schedule
Documentation is a key way of showing that Health and Safety is active on-site. It provides evidence for incident investigations, Regulator inspections, and insurance claims, and helps share learnings with your team.
We recommend aiming to hit the recommended documentation benchmarks for your business.
6. Complete Your Health and Safety Checklist
Our Health and Safety Checklist is a great place to start, it walks you through the basics and shows you exactly what you need to set up. It's broken down into 5 simple areas: Work, People, Incidents, Emergency Procedures, and Administration.
Open the Health and Safety Checklist.
Work through each of the 5 areas, focusing on what applies to your business.
Start with the highest priority items so you can get the most important things in place quickly.
Please Note: Not everything will apply to every business, skip anything that isn't relevant to the work you do.
