Epoxy Floor Coating SWMS
Safe Work Method Statement covering the key hazards and control measures for epoxy floor coating.
SWMS variants reference your state’s WHS legislation. Instant download after payment.
Epoxy floor coating involves mixing and applying two-part epoxy resin systems to concrete substrates in commercial, industrial, and warehouse environments. Work generates hazardous vapours, skin sensitisation risk, and slip hazards during cure. WHS Regulation 2025 Chapter 7 (Hazardous Chemicals) and Chapter 3 require documented controls, SDS access, and worker exposure management.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
Allergic contact dermatitis, permanent sensitisation
Respiratory sensitisation, occupational asthma
Falls causing fractures or head injury
Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Mechanical ventilation or extraction during application; monitor vapour levels against WES limits per Schedule 14.
- 2Mandatory nitrile gloves, coveralls, P2/A1 respirators, and eye protection; no skin contact with uncured product.
- 3Barricade work area, post wet floor signage, and restrict access until manufacturer cure time elapses.
Applicable Codes of Practice
Direct guidance on epoxy chemical risk assessment and control
Respirator selection for solvent vapours and sensitisers
High-Risk Construction Work triggered
Not applicable — epoxy work triggers hazardous chemical provisions, not Schedule 3 HRCW categories.
Hazardous chemicals require SDS, register, manifest, and exposure controls under Chapter 7.
