Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) Wizard
Creating and managing the Safe Work Method Statement using traditional methods of paper templates, results in numerous safe work method statement pdf files that are usually stored and forgotten in a filing cabinet somewhere.
They are not reusable and are seldom able to be linked to the jobs, assets and workers they relate to.
The paper safe work method statement template is also time consuming and awkward to create.
What’s needed is an easier, simpler method of creating and managing SWMS.
The Simple WorkSafe Risk SWMS wizard is the perfect tool for safe work method statements.

Description
When you need a Safe Work Method Statement…
A Safe Work Method Statement sets out a job’s tasks and activities in logical step order. It outlines the pre-planned method by which job tasks and activities will be carried out.
The SWMS then identifies the hazards and assesses the risk of those hazards for each activity. Next, it demonstrates how control measures are implemented to eliminate or minimise those risks.
It informs everyone involved, from the principal contractor to the workers, what’s needed to carry out the work safely.

Problems With A Generic Method Statement Template
Remember; for a SWMS to be of any use, it must be relevant!
You may need to prove that relevance if there’s a court action resulting from an incident on the job.
Creating safe work method statements can be time-consuming and frustrating. More so when you perform many high-risk activities because you need a SWMS for each job.
Using downloadable generic templates is one option.
Customising can make the template suit a particular job and these are usually filed or thrown out on job completion.
However, like any other part of your business, safe work method statements are better managed when they are part of an integrated system.
Permanently Recorded, Duplicated SWMS
Another way to manage safe work method statements is to have them forever on record and integrated into a management system.
Just like your accounting system, it’s good management to have all the parts of your health and safety integrated into an easily accessible, customisable system.
Simple WorkSafe offers such a system.
Safe work method statements can be quickly generated or duplicated from any device anywhere, any time.
Send a link to your workers who can sign by touch screen from a mobile phone.
Send the completed report right from the system to the principal contractor. You can even get the principal contractor to sign digitally with a little setup work.
The record is then permanently and readily available and linked to all jobs and resources using it. Furthermore, you’ll be able to prove you have an effective and up to date health and safety system in place if the needs were ever to arise.

Link and sync to every resource the SWMS affects through the register
With the SWMS Wizard, you can link and synchronise every SWMS to the resources that are affected by it.
For instance, a SWMS may be created for a particular job.
The job may involve the use of a range of assets (plant, machinery, equipment or tools).
The job will surely be carried out on a worksite and there may well be chemicals or hazardous goods involved.
The SWMS is permanently attached to each one of these, the worksite, the job being attempted, each of the resources used and the chemicals/hazardous goods used.
The register is used to link and synchronise safe work method statements with resources.
Your workers have access to their Safe Work Method Statements

Comprehensive reports generated at the press of a button
A SWMS document can be printed out in four different formats, Word document, image, spreadsheet or pdf.
Printing in either Word or spreadsheet formats means the resulting report can be customised any way you wish.
Every safe work method statement can be exported to either spreadsheets, CSV, Word Docs etc. Safe work method statement pdf or word docs generated through any safe work method statement template can be either imported or attached into the Simple SWMS application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get updates with my subscription?
Yes. When updates are made to the application they are automatically available to all users of the version that was upgraded free of charge.
Are the Simple WorkSafe applications ever inaccessible due to maintenance?
On very rare occasions we may need to do routine maintenance on the server, databases or the UI of the application resulting in a brief disruption to the service, however, we will always notify you well before this occurs.
Do I need an internet connection?
Currently – Yes. Simple WorkSafe is a cloud-based application that needs internet access to communicate with the data held on the server. HOWEVER…There is an upcoming change to this where we will be able to offer offline data processing. This will enable normal use of the application while offline and the data will automatically match once an internet connection becomes available. The release of Offline Data Processing will be announced on our blog and by email with any special instructions.
I have very poor internet. Can I use the product?
Mostly yes. We’ve discovered that the application will work with even a very weak internet connection although it may slow up a bit. Usually, even a location with a poor internet service has “hot spots” where the service is better, however, in some remote locations there is no internet service at all. Unfortunately, in this case, the application won’t work until an internet connection can be made. This will change with Offline Data Processing which is coming soon and will be announced in an email to our customers and on our blog.
How difficult is Simple WorkSafe to set up?
It takes very little time to have the Simple WorkSafe Risk Assessment wizard up and running. It can be an ongoing process where information is added as needed while using the application..
Is there a steep learning curve for users?
Not if you follow the guides. The guides give a short but concise explanation for every section of the application.
Can I control who gets to see the data?
Absolutely! Simple WorkSafe has a simple but powerful security system. When you subscribe you will be given a username and password that has a “Manager” role. A user with a Manager role can create other users with either a “Supervisor” role or a “Worker” role. A user with a “Supervisor” role can also create an unlimited amount of users with “Worker” roles. These roles determine what a user can see. Only a user with a “Manager” and “Supervisor” role can delete records. There is an extensive explanation of what a user with a Worker role sees in the guides. Simple WorkSafe is not priced on the number of users you have. You can hundreds of users and the subscription does not change.
Are there additional costs?
No! The subscription is all-inclusive
Is support included?
Yes. Support is via the contact form here. We will answer your support questions with the very highest priority.
What about Refunds?
We have a 30-day full refund policy. If you’re not completely happy with Simple WorkSafe Risk Assessment Wizard inform us via the form on our contact page within 30 days of subscribing and we will immediately refund your money.
Is my information safe?
Yes. Your data is stored on the secure servers with geolocation backup servers. In the unlikely event of a server failure, the backup servers will continue serving your data seamlessly. Our username and password system will ensure that the only people to see your data are those whom you choose.
Can I get custom changes made to the application?
Occasionally we get a request for changes or additions to Simple WorkSafe. When we believe that the requested change will make the application a better product we will include it. All subscribers will have free access to the additions/ alteration if they are relevant to your current subscription.
How to set up custom themes?
You can change many features of the look and feel and it’s fully explained in the “Changing the Look and Feel” help article. Each user can select his/her own look & feel which will be saved just for that specific user.
