This SWMS covers general aspects associated with landscaping / turf operations. This does not include growing, treatments, fertilizing, using pesticides and collecting turf. Dedicated SWMS must be developed for use of equipment (such as Skid Steer Loader, Tip trucks, Loading/Delivery vehicles etc) and specific tasks.
The Landscaping & Turf Laying 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.
