The Weed Control Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 14 page procedure.

The effects of herbicides on humans can vary from skin, stomach, eye and lung irritation, to damage to liver, kidneys and nervous system. Symptoms can be mild or severe enough to be fatal and depend on the chemicals used. Main routes of exposure include absorption (skin/eye), inhalation and ingestion (through eating/smoking without washing hands after using).

The Weed Control Work Method Statement (WMS) is ready to use and is not a blank template. Simply add your company details, ABN, and include any site specific details or risks and make it specific to the task at hand. It is then ready for printing and to be incorporated as part of your overall OHS System.
