If you meet this criteria you require a Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) license.

To obtain a QBCC license, contractors and tradies are required to have a Safety Management System in place.

Our safety consulting team delivers your safety essentials in an easy to understand, cost effective format which enables you to stick to doing what you do best.

Our Contractor safety services include:

Safety Management Systems including Plans, Policies, Procedures and SWMS
Compliance with Principal Contractor requirements
Amending current safety policies, procedures and statements

What is a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS)?

The primary purpose of a SWMS is to help supervisors, workers and any other persons at the workplace to understand the relevant hazards and control measures required to safely carry out high risk construction work. Be sure to remember it’s relevant to any of these 18 high risk work activities.

Some companies also require subcontractors to prepare SWMS for the work that they are going to do. Contractors are often asked to present a detailed SWMS before commencing their part of the work.

If you need a SWMS or think you’ll need one in the future (most tradies should have a SWMS to be operating safely), then get in touch with our team who can assist.
