This safe work method statement for chainsaws is free and customisable for your own safety documentation.

All high risk construction activities and many pieces of plant and equipment require the use and maintenance of a safe work method statement (SWMS).

One of the more dangerous pieces of equipment/machinery on many construction and industrial sites is the chainsaw.

A chainsaw safe work method statement enables a company, project or site to outline the required safety steps involved with performing any type of chainsaw operations.

This template comes pre-built with some basic chainsaw job steps and requirements, and you can easily customise it to better suit your needs.

This smart document can be exported as a PDF or CSV document like you see here, or it can be accessed and used on any digital device (mobile, tablet, computer) to make managing your SWMS easier for all workers and more compliant for the company and regulators.
