This safe work method statement for tiling is free and editable, so you can customise it and use it the way you want.

Wall and floor tiling aren't necessarily the first activities which come to mind when thinking about high risks construction activities and safe work method statements, but like most construction jobs, tiling does involve some concrete hazards which require ongoing and conscious management.

A tiling safe work method statement or 'SWMS' is one of the only dedicated safety documents you will find and use specifically for tiling. A good SWMS will outline most of the procedural and process steps required to perform tiling properly and safely.

As you can see from this tiling SWMS, your SWMS document should cover a bunch of the preliminary checks and balances on even beginning tiling work like the training and instructions required to conduct this type of work as well as the PPE requirements and MSDS details.

On top of that, a safe work method statement for tiling should also dive into the specific job steps associated with tiling on this project or site, and identify the hazards and associated control steps workers need to put in place or understand to ensure the job is done safely.

Used properly, a SWMS ensures all workers are conducting tiling (wall, floor tiling and more) in a safe and standardised way, which is the best way to reduce accidents and incidents.

This tiling SWMS has a bunch of example content, but you can use the framework for yourself and fill in your own details. You can access and use this SWMS doc on your computer, mobile or tablet, and also export it as a PDF document like you see here.

Digital SWMS documents are much easier to manage than time-consuming word and PDF documents - so get started now.
