Air Conditioner Maintenance Safe Work Method Statement:

The Air Conditioner Maintenance Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 8 page procedure outlining the steps for safely conducting Maintenance on air conditioning units.

This SWMS covers risks associated with general maintenance of air conditioning systems. Ensure the manufacturer’s maintenance manual/guide is available for specific information.

The Air Conditioner Maintenance procedure 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.

The Air Conditioner Maintenance procedure can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.

Preparation - Hazardous Materials:

• If cutting/drilling into structures, determine material type.
• Provide suitable personal protective equipment for short term works – example:
• Non-Friable Asbestos: Protective clothing, P1 or P2 half face mask (can be either disposable or cartridge)
• Silica: P1 or 2 half face with particle cartridge Refrigerant Gases: Correct for type of system Cylinders labelled – including weight, fill capacity, type and within test date Material safety data sheets available. Ensure correct PPE for type/quantity.
• Eg: Ammonia: More than 900kg – impervious protective clothing with Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)– 25 mins effective life Group B2: less than 225kg – at least 1full face respirator with appropriate cartridge Group B2: more than 225: 2 f/face respirators Quantity of any type more than 900kg: SCBA
