Epoxy Injection SWMS
Safe Work Method Statement covering the key hazards and control measures for epoxy injection.
SWMS variants reference your state’s WHS legislation. Instant download after payment.
Epoxy injection involves pressure-injecting two-part epoxy resin into structural concrete cracks to restore integrity. Work exposes operators to hazardous chemicals, isocyanate-free amine hardeners, and high-pressure equipment. WHS Regulation 2025 Chapter 7 (Hazardous Chemicals) and section 19 PCBU duties require a documented SWMS before commencement on any Australian construction site.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
Chemical burns, allergic dermatitis, sensitisation
Respiratory irritation and occupational asthma
Fluid injection injury, eye trauma
Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Wear chemical-resistant nitrile gloves, splash goggles, and P2 respirator per current SDS requirements
- 2Provide mechanical ventilation or LEV when working indoors or in confined spaces
- 3Inspect hoses, fittings, and pressure gauges before each shift; isolate before disconnection
Applicable Codes of Practice
Hazardous chemicals register, SDS, labelling and exposure controls
Approved guidance for resin and hardener handling
High-Risk Construction Work triggered
Epoxy resins and amine hardeners are Schedule 19 hazardous chemicals requiring SDS-controlled handling.
SWMS mandatory under WHS Reg 291; stop-work powers if missing.
