Timber Framework Safety Information:
The Timber Framework Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 10 page procedure outlining the safety steps for erecting timber framework.
The Timber Framework 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 Timber Framework Work Method Statement can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.
