Let’s delve deeper into this subject to help you understand what’s involved with a SWMS, why it’s essential, and how Builder Assist makes compliance simple with our easy-to-edit templates.
Firstly, what is a roofing SWMS?
A roofing SWMS is a document that outlines how your high-risk roofing work will be carried out safely. It documents the list of risks, such as falls from heights, manual handling, roof access, and weather exposure, and then explains how you can mitigate these risks.
Australian WHS laws categorise roofing as high-risk construction work, making a SWMS a legal requirement on every job. A SWMS for roofing is proof that you’ve identified potential risks and put measures in place to avoid them before anyone starts work.

Why choose Builder Assist for your SWMS template?
We know many people are choosing to go to AI for documentation these days: however, it’s not always the best choice. AI-generated SWMS can give you false or misleading information, and because it’s guided by prompts, it can also miss essential information. There’s also no guarantee that the documents are accurate or relevant to your trade.
At Builder Assist, however, our Roofing SWMS templates are created by real people, with real experience in the building industry. They are constantly updated with the latest rules and regulations to ensure you stay compliant.
