Why use an AI SWMS template instead of Word?
A Word template starts blank. Our AI template starts with the right hazards for your job — based on the trade, the activity, the location and the state. You spend your time reviewing, not typing. Every document is stored in the cloud, versioned, and re-usable for the next site.
Trades and high-risk work covered
Working at heights, demolition, confined space, asbestos, tilt-up and precast concrete, work near energised electrical services, excavation deeper than 1.5 m, mobile plant, hot work, traffic management, roofing, scaffolding, formwork, structural steel, solar installation and more.
Frequently asked questions
What must an Australian SWMS template include?
Under the WHS Regulations, a SWMS must list the high-risk construction work being carried out, the hazards and risks, the control measures (using the hierarchy of controls), and how those controls will be implemented, monitored and reviewed. It must also be developed in consultation with workers and signed off before work starts.
Is there a free SWMS template?
Yes — you can generate your first SWMS for free during the trial. There is no credit card required to test the generator and download a watermark-free draft.
Can I edit the SWMS after the AI writes it?
Absolutely. The AI gives you a strong starting draft. You can edit every step, hazard, control, risk score and add your own company branding before exporting the PDF.
Is this template valid in NSW, VIC, QLD and WA?
Yes. The generator selects the correct legislation per state — Work Health and Safety Act/Regulation in NSW, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 plus OHS Regulations 2017 in Victoria.
Do I need a SWMS for non-high-risk work?
Strictly, a SWMS is only legally required for the 18 categories of High-Risk Construction Work in Schedule 3 of the WHS Regulations. For other tasks a JSA or risk assessment is usually appropriate.
