Concrete Masonry

The Concrete Masonry Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with work involving concrete masonry, including hazardous manual tasks, use of plant and equipment, and working at heights, etc., including risks of falls and the likelihood of exposure to falling objects. The SWMS provides details of the health and safety precautions (including personal protective equipment requirements) to be observed when carrying out work associated with concrete masonry. (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)).
