Is this the right NSW WHS SWMS?

WHS Form 05 is the Safe Work Method Statement from the Housing Industry Site Safety Pack. It documents how high risk construction work will be carried out safely on site.

  • Tradie Forms is not affiliated with SafeWork NSW.
Who has to complete the NSW WHS SWMS?
The PCBU, principal contractor, or supervisor preparing the SWMS for high risk construction work before the task starts.
When is it required?
Before starting high risk construction work that needs a documented safe work method under WHS requirements.
Where does the completed form go?
Keep the completed SWMS on site, make it available to workers carrying out the task, and retain a copy with the job records. Tradie Forms does not lodge the SWMS with a regulator.
Can I fill it on my phone?
Yes. Tradie Forms walks you through each section on your phone and downloads the official PDF layout when you are ready.
Will this PDF be accepted?
Tradie Forms downloads your answers in the official PDF layout where supported. Always preview and check the completed PDF before sending, lodging, or handing it over. Tradie Forms does not lodge or certify the form for you.

SWMS forms are painful on a phone PDF

What slows teams on WHS Form 05.

  • Composite PCBU and contractor blocks

    Business name, ABN, address, and phone are tedious to tap through in a flat PDF viewer on site.

  • Task table spans two pages

    Fifteen rows with hazards and controls are hard to fill without losing your place on a phone.

  • Principal expects the HIISP layout

    Site packs need the official column order, not a retyped spreadsheet.

Finish the SWMS before high risk work starts

Three steps without fighting the table on a phone.

Start a fresh one from the library or pick up a draft where you left off.

What you fill in

Eight groups cover the full SWMS PDF.

  1. 1

    PCBU and Work

    Business details, principal contractor, and work activity.

  2. 2

    SWMS and Sign-off

    Task rows, compliance review, and worker acknowledgement.
