Safe Work Method Statements are required for all high risk work in manufacturing facilities under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025. Confined space entry, chemical handling, lockout tagout, and hot work all require documented SWMS before work begins. All EHS Atlas templates include the incoming December 2026 workplace exposure limits for styrene, isocyanates, formaldehyde, wood dust, and manganese, along with Section 26A binding code of practice mapping effective 1 July 2026. Download, customise, and implement SWMS that satisfy regulator expectations across every Australian jurisdiction.
