Concrete Block Laying

The Concrete Block Laying Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with work carried out when carrying out tasks associated with laying concrete blocks, including hazardous manual tasks, use of plant and equipment, risks of falls, falling objects and the likelihood of exposure to hazardous materials. The SWMS provides details of the health and safety precautions (including personal protective equipment requirements) to be observed when carrying out concrete block laying and associated tasks. (Note: Due to significant variations in Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) requirements between states and territories, reference to regulations, codes of practice and guidance material in each jurisdiction is recommended.)
