Combustible Cladding Risk Assessment SWMS
Combustible cladding risk assessment for existing buildings — material identification, fire spread modelling, evacuation planning, interim fire safety measures, and rectification sequencing.
SWMS variants reference your state’s WHS legislation. Instant download after payment.
Combustible cladding risk assessment of existing buildings, including ACP/EPS material identification, fire spread modelling, evacuation planning, interim fire safety measures and rectification sequencing. Triggers WHS Regulation 2017 Part 6.1 (HRCW Cat. 4 — fire/explosion risk) and state cladding legislation requiring documented risk control before occupied building works commence.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
Mass casualty fire event, occupant entrapment
Struck-by injury to workers and public below
Delayed egress, smoke inhalation, fatalities
Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Sample and laboratory-test cladding to AS 5113 / NCC Spec C1.13a before classifying fire risk.
- 2Implement interim fire safety measures: enhanced detection, evacuation drills, fire warden coverage, hot work bans.
- 3Engage fire safety engineer to model spread and prioritise rectification sequencing per state cladding taskforce guidance.
Applicable Codes of Practice
Mandatory facade fire performance test method and compliance pathway
Banned combustible cladding products and rectification orders
High-Risk Construction Work triggered
Combustible ACP/EPS cladding is confirmed combustible material with documented rapid fire spread risk
SWMS mandatory before work starts under WHS Reg s291; PCBU penalties apply.
