Warehousing SWMS Templates
Safe Work Method Statements are required for high-risk work activities in warehousing operations under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025. Warehousing facilities operate powered mobile plant, handle heavy loads manually, and manage loading dock interfaces where multiple hazards converge. All EHS Atlas warehousing SWMS templates include diesel particulate exposure controls for the new WEL effective December 2026, psychosocial hazard provisions mandated under Regulation 55C, and Section 26A binding code of practice references effective 1 July 2026. Download, customise, and implement SWMS that satisfy regulator expectations across every Australian jurisdiction.
