Why Safe Work Method Statement management Is Harder than It Should Be
Starting from scratch wastes a lot of time
A paper-based SWMS form would require a substantial amount of time when creating it from scratch, which can delay the needed preparations that are essential to the activity being planned.
Varying and inconsistent forms
Paper-based SWMS templates can vary structurally depending on the site supervisor completing them, which can affect consistency and lengthen review cycles.
Overlooked fields that can increase risks
Supervisors rushing to complete the SWMS form to accommodate tight schedules might miss important sections that help effectively control hazards in the workplace, which increases the risk for injuries and accidents.
Easily lost safe work method statement forms
Paper-based forms are easily lost or get compiled in an area where they are easily forgotten. Such issues can compromise the review process and can lead to lack of evidence during audits.
A Smarter Safe Work Method Statement App
Automatic template creation through AI
Supervisors can easily structure SWMS templates by describing the form to Sitemate’s AI assistant Storm or uploading existing forms to the Dashpivot platform.
Easy SWMS form completion
Sitemate’s AI assistant Storm is integrated into the SWMS App to help build the SWMS forms by using work orders, drawings, hazard registers, and notes.
Fast approvals and signoff
Signatures are captured digitally, removing the need for physical handoffs and ensuring critical activities do not proceed before signoff.
Easily lost safe work method statement forms
All completed SWMS forms are stored in a secure cloud location where users can search or use the filter function to easily compile and review them.
Understanding Safe Work Method Statement Software
What is a Safe Work Method Statement App?
Sitemate's Safe Work Method Statement App is a cutting-edge tool for creating a safety planning document that is required for high-risk construction work under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulation 2017. Powered by the Dashpivot platform, the app employs modern approaches such as digital forms and AI integration to assist workers in understanding the hazards, risks, and safety controls that must be implemented to keep them safe.
How does a safe work method statement app template workflow run?
- Capture work details from scope, drawings, hazards, and supervisor notes
- Draft the method statement with AI-suggested sequencing, controls, and responsibilities
- Review and edit each section so it matches the job and actual site conditions
- Approve and sign off before high-risk work begins, with a recorded approval trail
- Store and link the record to the job for access, reporting, and audits
Why make a safe work method statement?
Safe Work Method Statements are required for all projects. They are meant to implement the essential control measures for the planned activities, as well as orient the personnel on the specific hazards and safety procedures required to perform them. SWMS procedures are essential in preventing accidents, injuries, and fatalities because they provide insights into the nature of the activity, safety procedures, emergency protocols, and specific dangers that workers may face. The purpose is to ensure that every worker, regardless of skill, understands the safety measures required for the intended activity.

Frequently asked questions about the Safe Work Method Statement App
What is included in a SWMS template?
A Safe Work Method Statement App template includes a description of the planned activity, identified hazards for each procedure of the activity, control measures needed to isolate hazards, safe procedures to complete the activity, and the necessary signatories to verify that personnel are oriented and prepared for the activity. Templates can be generated from existing hazard registers and procedures, not from generic forms.
Does Dashpivot work even if offline?
Yes, Dashpivot can work even without internet connectivity. It stores all collected data, like photos and hazard notes, in the phone and automatically syncs when connectivity returns.
How does AI help when completing an SWMS form?
Sitemate’s AI assistant Storm can extract data from hazard registers, risk assessments, and safe work protocols and auto-fill the relevant fields on the SWMS form. This process eliminates manual data entry, which significantly streamlines the SWMS process.
Can I update an existing SWMS template in the app?
Yes, you can easily update the SWMS template in the app to align with your workflow and site-specific hazards by using the powerful drag-and-drop form builder in Dashpivot.
How do I inform relevant stakeholders when a SWMS form is completed?
The Safe Work Method Statement App has a notification system that can be configured to automatically notify relevant stakeholders when an SWMS form is completed, which eliminates the need for physical handoffs.
Can multiple people contribute to the same SWMS form?
Yes, several team members can add notes, hazards, or signoffs to the same SWMS form before the activity begins. As long as they have the right permissions and save their work, all edits made by contributors are saved and timestamped.
What happens if conditions change after a SWMS form has already been completed?
Using the app, supervisors can update the SWMS form and notify the relevant team members straight away. This keeps the SWMS safety procedures current, rather than leaving outdated information in circulation on site.
