Safe Work Method Statements are required for high-risk work activities in printing operations under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025. Printing facilities handle hazardous chemicals daily, operate high-speed machinery with severe entanglement risks, and increasingly use UV curing technology that generates regulated atmospheric contaminants. All EHS Atlas printing SWMS templates include chemical exposure controls mapped to incoming WEL limits effective December 2026, psychosocial hazard provisions mandated under Regulation 55C, and Section 26A binding code of practice references effective 1 July 2026. Download, customise, and implement SWMS that satisfy regulator expectations across every Australian jurisdiction.
Covers solvent and chemical exposure during ink weighing, mixing, tinting, and colour matching. Includes LEV requirements, PPE selection, and chemical register obligations for printing inks.
Hazardous chemical exposureAddresses nip point entanglement, noise exposure, and chemical vapour risks during offset, flexographic, and digital press operation. Includes guarding requirements and lockout procedures.
Work near powered mobile plantControls UV radiation, formaldehyde, ozone, thermal burn, and electrical hazards during UV lamp inspection, replacement, and reflector cleaning. Includes LOTO and atmospheric monitoring requirements.
Hazardous chemical exposure and electrical workManages flammable liquid handling, decanting, storage, and disposal risks. Covers dangerous goods segregation, spill containment, and vapour exposure controls for IPA, MEK, ethyl acetate, and toluene.
Hazardous chemical exposure and flammable atmosphereAddresses amputation, crush injury, and entanglement risks from flatbed and rotary die cutting operations. Includes guarding requirements, LOTO procedures, and die change safety protocols.
Work near powered mobile plantControls amputation and crush risks from hydraulic and programmable guillotines. Covers two-hand controls, light curtain verification, blade change procedures, and operator competency requirements.
Work near powered mobile plantManages entanglement and laceration risks during web threading, splicing, and tension adjustment on web-fed presses. Includes inching mode procedures and nip guard requirements.
Work near powered mobile plantAddresses solvent exposure, nip point, and manual handling risks during blanket washing, anilox roller cleaning, ink tray cleaning, and impression cylinder maintenance. Includes LEV and RPE requirements.
