Not legal advice. No template is compliant out of the box. A SWMS has to be made site-specific with the workers doing the job before work starts. SWMS Kit is not a regulator.

  • What is a SWMS?

    The 18 model-law categories, what a SWMS is for, and what regulators say to leave out.

  • SWMS in NSW

    WHS Regulation 2025, SafeWork NSW Form 05, and the $250,000 principal contractor threshold.

  • SWMS in Queensland

    Sections 299–303. The WHS penalty unit is $100, so 60 penalty units is $6,000.

  • SWMS in Victoria

    19 high risk construction work categories and why a model-law file is not enough.

  • SWMS in South Australia

    The 2 metre fall threshold from 1 July 2026, and a $450,000 construction project.

  • SWMS vs JSA

    What is legally required for high risk construction work, and what is not.

  • Who signs a SWMS?

    Who prepares it, worker sign-off, and why a daily re-sign is not the rule.

  • Glossary

    PCBU, HSR, HRCW, LOTO and the other words that show up on a SWMS.

  • Free pre-start checklist

    Three parts, printable, no email.
