The Flood Clean up Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is Free of Charge as part of SafetyCulture’s contribution to helping rebuild flood affected areas.

The Flood Clean up Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 15 page procedure. This SWMS concerns clean-up of premises after floods, including removal of contaminated items and building materials.

This SWMS briefly discusses risk controls in relation to asbestos, use of ladders, and other equipment such as scissor lifts, however this SWMS should be used in conjunction with SWMS dedicated to those risks.

The Flood Clean up 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.
