Column A Identify Activity Steps (consult all parties involved). Column B Identify hazards associated with each Activity Step. Column C Use Assessment Table to determine consequences and likelihood of occurrence. Insert the Alpha abbreviation into SWMS under Column C Sub-columns L & C. Column D - Use Matrix to determine Class of. Insert the numeric rating under R. Column E - Determine appropriate control measures to eliminate the risk or reduce it to as low as practicable. Column F - Allocate responsibility for implementing required control under Who By. Column G - Reassess the risk of each control and insert the Alpha and Numeric rating chart following the controls Column H - Use Matrix to determine Class of. Insert the numeric rating under R. Assess items in the Part B Evaluation/Review Checklist to ensure relevant to the SWMS and amend if necessary. Train all persons involved in activities covered by SWMS using specific training meeting or toolbox talk and have them sign the last page of SWMS to confirm training complete. Submit SWMS to relevant Site Management Team member. Relevant Site Management Team members evaluate SWMS using Part B - Evaluation/Review Checklist. Nominated person completes SWMS Evaluation/Review Checklist and amended SWMS when necessary and forwards a copy to Project Safety Supervisor.
