Working at heights is one of the most dangerous workplace activities, with countless injuries and a number of fatalities occurring due to this type of work.

One of the best ways to improve how your company, projects, teams and workers manage working at heights is to create, maintain and enforce a safe work method statement for working at heights.

In addition to providing a constantly improving framework for performing work at heights (a SWMS is a living and breathing document), workers should use the SWMS as a reference point, and regularly view and sign off on the document to show they have read and understood how to approach this type of work safely.

On top of that, inspectors and other stakeholders need to ensure that the method statement is being adhered to and communicated effectively.

This safe work method statement for working at heights comes pre-built with a number of the high risk activities associated with working at height, and you can easily edit and add to the pre-built template to better suit your business and processes.
