This Safe Work Method Statement/Job Safety Analysis is based on the following critical assumptions being valid, and remaining valid throughout the job. If any of these assumptions are violated,
or are found to be threatened, the risk is to be re-assessed and suitable controls implemented, communicated to the at risk workers and recorded.
Serial Assumption
1. Supervisors are qualified and sufficiently experienced to communicate and implement the risk controls in this SWMS\JSA.
2. Supervisors will develop their own Tool Box Talk briefings to articulate the risk controls applicable to them and their team.
3. New workers who join the group / team /work site will receive the full suite of induction training and safety briefings on relevant site risk controls
4. Individuals are not fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or drugs during the working day / shift.
OHS Incidents
Common Root Causes Pre Conditions for Accidents
Workers taking their eyes off the job Rushing – eyes off Job, mind off job, moving into a dangerous location
Workers taking their mind off the job Fatigue – impaired decision making / judgement
Workers putting themselves in the dangerous situations Frustration – mind not on the job
Workers losing Balance, Grip or Traction Complacency – repetitious work, arrogance
It is everyone’s responsibility to self trigger safe behaviors if any of the above conditions are Management and Supervisors need to be aware of the Pre Conditions for accidents, and where
experienced. possible and practicable, guard their workforce from them.
RISK MATRIX
All hazards must be ranked using the following risk matrix. All hazards are classified as High, Medium or Low. When assessing hazards ask yourself; does the hazard have the potential to;
The numbers show you how important it is to do something Residual Risk Action Required
Rating 1-6 High Risk Immediate Action Required –Redesign / Review Controls to Reduce Risk
Rating 7-13 Medium Risk Monitoring Required
Rating 14-16 Low Risk If Risk Increases Establish Monitoring

-back propping where required
-any variations from design and subsequent
certification of variations
-safe load bearings
-timeframes between pours and pour rates
Formwork Personal injury F All framing must be carried out so that it complies L All
-crushing with on site
-falls design documentation and any manufacturers' requirements.
-being struck by falling Inspect all formwork components to ensure acceptable
object condition as per AS3610.
Collapse of structure Traditional
Legislation breach Foundation:
-ensure stable base
-ensure base plates are provided under props and
standards
-ensure suitable sole boards are provided
Pre-pour Inspection Personal injury F Inspection should be undertaken by qualified person to ensure: L Site supervisor
-crushing -safe work practices were/are followed Concretor
-falls -system complies with requirement of design and
-being struck by falling project documentation
object -is adequately braced
Collapse of structure -is strippable
Legislation breach -has adequate connections
-correct spacing of frames, props and timbers;
-correct joist and bearer sizes;
-acceptable jack extensions;
- adequate bracing to ensure stability
Dismantling Personal injury F Concrete should be inspected prior to dismantle L Site Supervisor
Formwork - Crushing Check for unacceptable :
(Stripping) - Falls -warping
- Being stuck by Twisting
falling object Cracks
Collapse of structure Blowholes
Legislation breach Deviations as per AS3610
