SWMS Specificity Audit Checklist

Use this checklist to audit any Safe Work Method Statement before approval and sign-off. The checklist runs through eight areas where generic templates most often break and asks the reviewer to answer Yes, No or Action Required for each. Built to satisfy the specificity requirement in Regulation 299 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 and the primary duty of care in section 19 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011. Drop it straight into your IMS and make it the final gate before any SWMS goes to workers.
