Tier 1 Safe Work Method Statements for Civil and Construction Projects
Platinum Training & Assessment provides tier 1 Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) for high-risk work activities within civil and construction workplaces. Each SWMS is a practical legal document detailing hazards that arise during high-risk work and the specific safety measures required to control those risks.
Our safe work method statements come complete with a risk matrix, PPE requirements, and step-by-step job sequences, including potential hazards and control measures. We write documents that reflect the actual plant, equipment, and tasks your crew uses on site, rather than generic paperwork.
We provide a 24 hour turnaround on completed documents and offer lower prices than most other companies, supporting contractors and fleet owners across Victoria with compliant, site-ready safety documentation.
