When you need this form
Facade cleaning, roof plant servicing, gutter work, signage installs and scaffold-based trades all fall under high-risk construction work at heights. The SWMS is prepared before mobilisation and reviewed with the crew on site. Builders and building managers ask for it at induction, and for window cleaning contractors chasing high-rise or facade contracts, heights documentation is the gate the tender never gets past without.
A signed method statement in a folder is not evidence of consultation. A live version shows each worker signing on for that job, photos of the edge protection and anchor points as installed, and a fresh sign-on when the method changed mid-task. That record answers the two questions an inspector asks: was it planned, and did the crew know?
What good looks like
- Work steps broken down, each with its own hazards and controls.
- Fall protection specified per step: anchors, static lines, harness, edge protection.
- High-risk licences and training verified for the workers on the job.
- Photos of anchors, rescue gear and edge protection as actually installed.
- Worker sign-on before work, re-signed whenever the method changes.

Working at heights SWMS, answered
Is this a PDF or Word template?
Neither. It is a live form: your crew opens it on their phones, ticks it through, attaches photos and signs on the glass. Every submission is timestamped, GPS-pinned and stored as proof.
What work requires a working at heights SWMS?
Construction work with a risk of falling more than a short distance is treated as high risk, and a SWMS is expected before it starts. Facade, roof and scaffold work almost always qualify.
Who signs a working at heights SWMS?
The person preparing it, every worker doing the task, and the supervisor authorising the work. Workers re-sign if the method or the conditions change, which is where consultation gets proven.
