This safe work method statement for hot works is free, customisable and easy to manage.

Hot works involve some of the more dangerous activities on many industrial sites, with open flames and explosive materials making for a dangerous combination.

While hot works permits and other preventative measures do a great job of ensuring people have the authorisation and approval to move forward with works, they don't specifically address or layout the method of work which leads to good and safe outcomes.

For this, companies, projects and teams rely on a safe work method statement for hot works. A safe work method statement, like the template you see here, enables the documentation and outlining of the safest approach to a specific high risk activity like conducting hot works.

This hot works SWMS comes pre-built with many of the most common sections and contents of a reliable hot works safe work method statement, and the entire template can be customised and edited to suit your own safety requirements.

While some SWMS documents are still managed with paper, word and PDF, the smarter approach to managing and improving how this information is managed is to use a digital SWMS format.

Using this SWMS, you can access, view, edit and sign off on the safe work method statement from any mobile or tablet device - so workers and supervisors can get quick access to the statement and acknowledge it from anywhere.

In addition, your SWMS will be stored securely online, where you never have to worry about losing or misplacing it, or it getting buried in a folder somewhere.
