The Storm Water Drains Vacuumation Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 11 page procedure. This SWMS covers the cleaning of storm water drains using vacuumation processes. Where entry into drain system is required, an assessment must take place to determine whether the area is a “confined space”. 

If a confined space is determined, use SafetyCulture's Confined Space Entry SWMS. This SWMS does not cover confined space entry. 

The Storm Water Drains Vacuumation 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 Storm Water Drains Vacuumation Work Method Statement can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.
