Cladding Rectification (Combustible ACP) SWMS
Removal and replacement of non-compliant combustible aluminium composite panel (ACP) cladding — building access, fire-safe handling, waste classification, and façade restoration.
SWMS variants reference your state’s WHS legislation. Instant download after payment.
Removal and replacement of non-compliant combustible aluminium composite panel (ACP) cladding involves working at height on building façades, handling fire-risk materials, classifying contaminated waste, and restoring exterior finishes. Triggers WHS Regulation 2017 Part 6.3 (high risk construction work) and Section 26A consultation duties under the WHS Act 2011.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
Fatal fall from scaffold, EWP or rope access
Rapid fire spread, burns, building evacuation
Respiratory irritation and contaminated waste exposure
Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Engineer-certified scaffold or EWP with edge protection; harness anchored to rated points above shoulder height.
- 2Eliminate hot work on ACP — use cold-cutting tools, fire watch, extinguishers, and isolate building fire systems.
- 3Classify ACP waste per EPA guidelines; double-wrap, label, and dispose at licensed facility with chain-of-custody.
Applicable Codes of Practice
Mandates non-combustible cladding compliance and material fire testing.
Prohibits use of banned ACP products on Class 2-9 buildings.
High-Risk Construction Work triggered
Façade cladding work performed from scaffold, EWP or rope access well above 2m.
Handling combustible PE-core panels with potential ignition from tools or adjacent hot work.
SWMS mandatory before work starts; PCBU fines to $30,000 for non-compliance.
