Concrete Pipes

The Concrete Pipes Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks of falls and falling objects, the collapse or cave-in of excavations. and from the use of plant associated with the handling and placement of concrete pipes into trenches and excavations. The SWMS provides details of the qualifications and competencies required where plant is used to place concrete pipes in position and the safety precautions (including personal protective equipment requirements) to be observed when laying concrete pipes. (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.)
