Work Method Statements
Boiler Maintenance – in service Work Method Statement
The Boiler Maintenance – in service, Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 13 page procedure. This SWMS deals with general safety issues associated with cleaning, inspection, maintenance and servicing of boilers. This SWMS does NOT provide detailed information on HOW to undertake these tasks, as detailed qualifications are required for those activities. Task-specific SWMS should be developed for hazards, such as Confined Spaces, Hot Works, Work at heights (above 2m), Working with Friable Asbestos, Asbestos Removal, Lock Out/Tag Out procedures etc, as necessary.
The Boiler Maintenance – in service 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 Boiler Maintenance – in service Work Method Statement can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.
