OHS Safe Work Method Statement Safe Use of Lawn Edgers and Trimmers (Australia)

Each Safe Work Method Statement should be site specific. Include all workers doing safe use of lawn edgers and trimmers activates in the development of the Safe Work Method Statement. All workers should sign off to verify that they understand all the requirements of this Safe Work Method Statement. Employers intending to use the Safe Work Method Statement Safe Use Of Lawn Edgers And Trimmers (Australia) mobile app for their own SWMS must ensure they consult with their employees doing safe use of lawn edgers and trimmers work, including their Health and Safety Representatives, prior to its introduction. Primary contractors and subcontractors must ensure that their SWMS is relevant to the construction project. Generic SWMS should not be used unless precautions have been taken to ensure that the document adequately addresses the hazards and risks relevant to each particular project. Primary contractors and subcontractors intending to use this app for their own generic SWMS, without making any changes to the detail, must ensure that they adhere to and implement all of the relevant risk controls. It is highly recommended that persons who are responsible for preparing and reviewing SWMS undertake training so as to understand the process of identifying and controlling safe use of lawn edgers and trimmers risks in the workplace.

A app generates a PDF version of your SWMS which is stored for your safety plan records in your GoCanvas account. GoCanvas offers Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) for specific construction areas.
