Brick Laying

The Brick Laying Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with work carried out when laying bricks, including hazardous manual tasks, use of plant and equipment, and working at heights, etc., including risks of falls, falling objects and the likelihood of exposure to hazardous materials. The SWMS provides details of the health and safety precautions (including personal protective equipment requirements) to be observed when carrying out brick laying and associated tasks. (Note: Due to significant variations in Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) requirements between states and territories, reference to regulations, codes of practice and guidance material in each jurisdiction is recommended.)
