Risk Assessed

  • This gives you OHS information about how to control risks and implement workplace safety measures

Risk Controls Applied

There are 5 risk control measures, with each of the 5 control measures having their scope and applicability to reduce risks to health and safety in the workplace.

 

  • By using the hierarchy of control measures, risks to health and safety can be better controlled

  • Each type of risk control is specifically designed for one risk type, providing additional protection or further reducing potential hazards and the likelihood of risk occurring

 

SWMS tiling formulates all these risk controls into a logical sequence to provide best practice guidance for undertaking floor and wall tiling works safely.
