This bricklaying SWMS is free and editable so you can improve your own SWMS and bricklaying safety.

Bricklaying (also commonly known as masonry in North America) is and can be a high risk construction activity.

Some of the risks and hazards associated with bricklaying are obvious like working from heights and dropping bricks, while others are more subtle but equally dangerous like inhaling dust and cement fumes.

One of the best ways to ensure every mason or bricklayer is conscious of the hazards associated with conducting this work - and continuously works within and around the standardised control measures put in place - is to create and maintain a safe work method statement for bricklaying.

This SWMS provides all workers, the company and projects with a comprehensive framework for conducting all bricklaying 'steps' or 'jobs' safely.

You can use this pre-built bricklaying SWMS to get a head start on some of the most common hazards and risks, and the entire template is editable so you can add and update your template as you see fit.

Use and customise this SWMS online using any computer, mobile or tablet, and instantly convert your digital record into a hard copy format like you see to the right.
