Road Rail Excavator Safe Work Method Statement

Our Road/Rail Excavator Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is essential for any business operating a road or rail excavator. This SWMS has been specifically designed to address the unique risks associated with operating an excavator on and around rail tracks and roads, ensuring that your workers are able to carry out their tasks safely.

This SWMS covers all of the necessary elements for a safe and efficient excavation operation, including:

  • Liaising with the Rail Network to establish communication and ensure that your operation is compliant with rail network requirements.
  • Assessing onsite conditions and establishing a work area set-up that considers the environment, housekeeping, and hazardous tasks involved.
  • Load trucking, work on slopes or piles, trench safely, work outside the cabin near the powered mobile plant, work near overhead electric lines, excavating near underground services and more…

Our Road/Rail Excavator SWMS has been developed in accordance with Australian Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) regulations and industry best practices and is fully customisable to meet the specific needs of your business. Using this SWMS, you can ensure that your workers are equipped with the knowledge and resources they need to work safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
