Brick Saw

The Brick Saw Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards, risks and controls associated with the use of brick saws used in construction workplaces to cut material such as clay bricks and pavers. The SWMS provides details of the inspections to be carried out before the saw is used and the safety precautions to be observed when using brick saws. (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.) (See SWMS0437 – Silica – Respirable Crystalline (RCS)).
