This roofing safe work method statement is free to use and customisable for your own safety procedures.

Roofing works are inherently dangerous, given that large parts of time are spent above the ground and on uneven and dangerous surfaces.

Companies, projects and workers have a number of processes and procedures to minimise and mitigate roofing injuries and issues. One of the standard 'tools' in the construction and roofing industries for documenting and managing roofing safety is a safe work method statement or SWMS.

A safe work method statement for roofing enables a company to document the standard procedures and codes of practice adhered to when performing roofing activities, and then provides a number of known hazards and control measures put in place to manage roofing safety on their works and sites.

This roofing SWMS comes pre-built with a number of pretty standard roofing hazards including:

• Working at heights
• Installation
• Flashing and capping

You can adopt and adjust the risk score and control measures on this template with ease, and edit and customise the sections and content to suit your types of work.

The actual SWMS document itself can be accessed and updated on any computer, mobile or tablet device because it is cloud-based.

Workers can sign off on the roofing SWMS while on site to acknowledge it is read and understood, and you can store, update and collaborate on the document over-time on the computer where your records are secure, easily findable and also exportable like the PDF you see to the right.

Improve your roofing safety using this safe work method statement now.
