Enhance workplace safety with finao's customisable SWMS solution

A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a critical document that outlines high-risk work activities, the associated hazards, and the measures needed to control those risks. In Australia, SWMS are mandatory for 18 high-risk construction work activities as defined in the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations. These documents are not only a compliance requirement but also a key tool in fostering a safe work environment. finao offers digital SWMS solutions that simplify and enhance this essential process.

Responsibilities in the SWMS process

finao's SWMS platform goes beyond basic functionality to address the specific responsibilities of key stakeholders in the SWMS process. Our system empowers businesses to define and manage these responsibilities effectively:

• Employers and PCBU (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking): Employers and PCBUs are responsible for ensuring that SWMS are prepared before high-risk work commences. finao's system allows employers to efficiently manage and distribute SWMS, ensuring they meet their legal obligations.
• Supervisors and Managers: Supervisors must ensure SWMS are implemented on-site and that work is conducted according to the outlined methods. Our platform provides tools to monitor compliance in real-time and communicate updates as needed.
• Workers: Workers must follow the SWMS and raise any concerns if conditions deviate from the documented safety measures. finao's user-friendly system ensures workers can easily access and review SWMS on any device, fostering greater engagement and compliance.
• Subcontractors: Subcontractors are often required to review and contribute to SWMS for the tasks they oversee. Our collaborative features enable them to participate in the process seamlessly.
