the high risk construction work will be done, for example:
       * information relating to the design of the structure, the workplace (e.g. location, access, transport) and information contained in the WHS Management Plan
       * information on any 'essential services' located on or near the workplace
       * confirmation the regulator has been advised of any 'notifiable work' (e.g. demolition work involving explosives)
       * safe work methods and plant to be used.
  5.       In the 'How will the hazards and risks be controlled?' column, select an appropriate control or combination of controls by working through the hierarchy of controls. It is important you are able to justify why the selected control measure is reasonably practicable for the specific workplace.

Selecting control measures
    1. Eliminate the risks so far as is reasonable practicable.
    2. If this is not reasonably practicable, minimise them so far as reasonably practicable by:
       * substituting the hazard
       * isolating the hazard
       * implementing engineering controls

  3.       If the risk still remains, minimise the remaining risk by implementing administrative controls

  4.       If the risk still remains, minimise the remaining risk by ensuring the provision and use of suitable personal protective equipment (PPE).

SWMS compliance (information, monitoring and review)
    1. Brief each team member on the SWMS before commencing work. Ensure each team member knows work is to stop if the SWMS is not followed.
    2. Observe the work being carried out and monitor compliance with the SWMS. Review risk controls regularly, including:
       * before a change occurs to the work itself, the system of work or the work location
       * if a new hazard associated with the work is identified
       * when new or additional information about the hazard becomes available
       * when a notifiable incident occurs in relation to the work
       * when risk controls are inadequate or the SWMS is not being followed.
  In all of the above situations stop the work, review the SWMS, adjust as required and re-brief the team.
  3.       Keep the SWMS in a readily available location for the duration of the high risk construction work and for at least 2 years after a notifiable incident occurs.
  4.       If high risk construction work is being carried out in connection with a construction project, the principal contractor must be provided with a copy of the SWMS before the high risk work starts.
