AI-powered Safe Work Method Statement for roofing work. Metal roofing, tile restoration, gutters, flashings. $9.99 per SWMS.
QuickSWMS generates compliant Safe Work Method Statements for roofers across Australia. Whether you're installing Colorbond, restoring tile roofs, replacing gutters, or fitting flashings, our AI produces a SWMS that properly addresses the #1 HRCW category for roofers — working at heights above 2 metres. Every generated SWMS references AS/NZS 1891.1 for fall-arrest and includes controls for every phase of roof work.
Roofing is one of the highest-risk trades in Australia. Falls from height are the leading cause of serious injury and death in construction. Under Australian WHS Regulations, any work where a person could fall more than 2 metres is HRCW and requires a SWMS. For roofers, that's every single job. A properly-written roofing SWMS documents your fall-prevention hierarchy (eliminate > substitute > isolate > engineer > admin > PPE), your rescue plan, and your specific controls for accessing, working on, and leaving the roof.
Under Australian WHS Regulations, these high-risk construction work categories commonly apply to roofers:
Every roofer SWMS generated by QuickSWMS identifies and addresses these specific hazards (and more, based on your job details):
Your roofer SWMS will document specific control measures following the hierarchy of controls:
Every SWMS for roofers references the relevant AS/NZS standards:
QuickSWMS handles SWMS for all these roofer activities and more:
Other SWMS generators charge $29-49. Safety consultants charge $300+. QuickSWMS is $9.99 per SWMS — your first one free.
Yes — roofing is always HRCW because roof work always involves fall risks above 2 metres. Under Australian WHS Regulations, this means a SWMS is legally required before any roofing work starts. Even small gutter repairs on a single-storey house are typically HRCW.
A fall-protection SWMS must document: (1) hierarchy of controls applied (eliminate fall risk first), (2) edge protection or fall-arrest system details, (3) rescue plan if fall-arrest is used, (4) anchor point inspection, (5) harness inspection records, (6) weather stop-work criteria, (7) worker training records for heights work. QuickSWMS includes all of these automatically when you select roofing work.
Yes. When generating a roofing SWMS, you can mention fragile roof conditions in the tasks and the AI includes fragile roof controls — crawl boards, roof ladders, load distribution, and worker exclusion zones. Fragile roof work is a leading cause of fatalities in the industry.
