A professional, editable Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) developed for Drainage Installation activities across civil construction, utilities and infrastructure projects.
This SWMS is designed to support high-risk construction activities involving excavation, underground services, drainage pipe installation, access chamber installation, confined space entry, lifting operations, dewatering and system testing. It provides practical, field-focused controls aligned with real-world civil, stormwater and underground drainage construction environments.

Important Notes
This SWMS has been developed as a general framework for Drainage Installation activities and must be reviewed and customised to reflect specific project requirements, site conditions, client specifications and applicable legislation.
Where task scope, site conditions or work methods change, work activities must be reassessed and additional hazards, controls and approvals captured prior to continuing work.
Additional controls, permits, confined space requirements, traffic management requirements, environmental controls, service locating requirements and asset owner requirements may apply depending on the scope and location of works.
This document has been developed using Western Australian (WA) legislation, regulations, codes of practice and industry guidance current at the time of development. While the operational controls and work activities are broadly applicable to similar works across Australia, businesses operating outside Western Australia must review and amend legislative references and jurisdictional requirements to ensure compliance with applicable local laws and regulatory obligations.
All documents should be reviewed and approved by a competent person prior to implementation.
This document should be used in conjunction with relevant excavation, confined space entry, service locating, lifting operations, traffic management, mobile plant and manual handling controls and procedures.
