Fibre Cement Sheeting

The Fibre Cement Sheeting Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with work installing fibre cement sheeting and allied products in residential and commercial premises including exposure to hazardous dust, the risk of falls and hazardous manual tasks. The SWMS provides details of the health and safety precautions (including protective clothing and respiratory protective equipment (RPE) requirements) to be observed when working with fibre cement sheeting and similar products. (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.)
