Concreter WHS Documents in Northern Territory
Written to Northern Territory legislation · delivered in about 4 minutes · free revision within 24h
Concreters working in Northern Territory need a core WHS document set built around a site-specific SWMS for each high risk activity, cited to the Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Regulations 2011 (NT). In Northern Territory the regulator is NT WorkSafe, and the duty to prepare a SWMS before high risk construction work sits in WHS (NUL) Regulations 2011 (NT) reg 299. The documents are the same as any state; what must be correct here is the legislation each one cites.
The WHS documents a concreter needs in Northern Territory
- ✓ A site-specific SWMS for each high risk activity, cited to the Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Regulations 2011 (NT) (WHS (NUL) Regulations 2011 (NT) reg 299)
- ✓ A SWMS register indexing every document, version and review date
- ✓ High risk work licences and concreter trade licences recognised in Northern Territory
- ✓ Safety Data Sheets for hazardous chemicals, and a chemical register
- ✓ Site induction record and daily sign-on / SWMS acknowledgement sheets
The SWMS a concreter usually needs
One SWMS per high risk construction work activity. The Trade SWMS Pack generates all of them, cited to Northern Territory law:
- ✓ Slab pours with concrete pump and agitator trucks
- ✓ Concrete cutting, coring and grinding (silica controls)
- ✓ Formwork erection and stripping
- ✓ Steel fixing and rebar installation
- ✓ Tilt-up and precast panel work
- ✓ Screeding and power trowelling
- ✓ Footing and pier excavation pours

The Northern Territory law behind it
| Regulator | NT WorkSafe |
| Principal Act | Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Act 2011 (NT) |
| Regulations | Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Regulations 2011 (NT) |
| Duty to prepare a SWMS | WHS (NUL) Regulations 2011 (NT) reg 299 |
| High risk construction work defined in | WHS (NUL) Regulations 2011 (NT) reg 291 |
The NT was the first jurisdiction to adopt the model WHS laws, enacting them as the Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Act 2011, enforced by NT WorkSafe, so its regulation numbering matches the national model.
The Northern Territory's industrial manslaughter offence can carry up to life imprisonment for an individual, among the toughest maximum penalties in the country. That is the enforcement backdrop your WHS document set has to stand up to on a Northern Territory site.
The hazards these documents have to control
A concreter SWMS in Northern Territory is judged on whether it names and controls the hazards the trade actually meets:
- ⚠ Respirable crystalline silica from cutting and grinding
- ⚠ Concrete pump line whipping
- ⚠ Cement skin burns
- ⚠ Rebar impalement
- ⚠ Formwork collapse
- ⚠ Powered mobile plant (agitators, pumps)
The high risk work that triggers a concreter's SWMS
- ✓ Work in an area with movement of powered mobile plant
- ✓ Tilt-up or precast concrete work
Every SWMS a concreter needs in Northern Territory, in one go
The Trade SWMS Pack generates all 8 SWMS above from one questionnaire, cited to Northern Territory law, plus the register, toolbox talks and sign-on sheets, for A$179.
