Retaining Walls - Concrete Sleeper

The Retaining Walls - Concrete Sleeper Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with the construction of concrete sleeper retaining walls under 2m high including operation of mobile plant, use of tools and equipment, hazardous manual tasks, exposure to chemicals, and working in outdoor conditions. The SWMS provides details of the health and safety precautions (including personal protection) required when constructing concrete sleeper retaining walls. (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.)
