Tilt-Up or Precast Concrete Work
Site-specific, delivered in about 4 minutes · free revision within 24h
Tilt-up or precast concrete work is high risk construction work needing a SWMS, because heavy panels are lifted and temporarily braced before they are permanently fixed.
Why this is high risk construction work
A tilt panel weighs many tonnes, and during erection it is held only by braces and rigging. A brace or rigging failure drops a wall onto the crew, so the sequence is safety-critical.
Because it is one of the 18 high risk construction work categories, a SWMS is legally required before the work starts (your state's WHS Regulations, provision 299; s 299 in NSW), not a nice-to-have.
The controls a SWMS should set out
In hierarchy of controls order, highest first:
- ✓ Engineered lifting inserts, rigging and bracing designed for the panel
- ✓ A documented erection and bracing sequence
- ✓ Exclusion zones during lifting and until permanent fixing
- ✓ No bracing removed until the structure is permanently connected and signed off
- ✓ Ground and crane assessment for the lift
