This safe work method statement for chemicals and chemical handling is free to use and customisable for your safety management.

Construction and industrial companies get a lot of value out of using chemicals for many different types of activities. Unfortunately, these chemicals are often hazardous to workers and other stakeholders including the public.

Every chemical has a number of regulatory and safety requirements including detailed labelling, but a company should also have some higher level documentation in place which covers the minimum standard and safety requirements for handling any chemicals.

One of the most important bits of documentation for general chemical handling safety on your projects and sites (as well as for all high risk activities) is a safe work method statement.

A safe work method statement for chemical handling outlines all of the safety requirements including training and PPE, as well as each job step associated with chemical handling.

The main part of any SWMS document are the control measures enacted and maintained for each job step, which all workers can then read, acknowledge and sign off so that everyone knows how to approach each step.

This chemical handling SWMS is free to use on your computer, tablet or phone, and all of the contents as well as the export can be customised to suit you.

Managing safe work method statements can be time-consuming and messy for all companies, but you can streamline how site workers and office workers deploy and maintain SWMS while also creating more compliant records using this smart digital SWMS.
