Plumbing Work

The Plumbing Work Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks including hazardous manual tasks, use of plant and equipment, hazardous chemicals and risk of falls in workplaces where plumbing work is being undertaken. The SWMS provides details of the health and safety precautions (including personal protective equipment requirements) to be observed when carrying out plumbing work. (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)).
