Earth Moving Equipment Maintenance Work Method Statement or Safe Work Procedure
Earth Moving Equipment Maintenance Safe Work Method Statement:
The Earth Moving Equipment Maintenance Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 7 page procedure outlining the safety steps for conducting routine maintenance on earth moving equipment.
This SWMS covers aspects of earth moving machinery and equipment maintenance undertaken at sites such as a construction site or farm. The Earth Moving Equipment Maintenance 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 Earth Moving Equipment Maintenance procedure can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.
