Concreter WHS Documents in Tasmania
Written to Tasmania legislation · delivered in about 4 minutes · free revision within 24h
Concreters working in Tasmania need a core WHS document set built around a site-specific SWMS for each high risk activity, cited to the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2022 (Tas). In Tasmania the regulator is WorkSafe Tasmania, and the duty to prepare a SWMS before high risk construction work sits in WHS Regulations 2022 (Tas) 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 Tasmania
- ✓ A site-specific SWMS for each high risk activity, cited to the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2022 (Tas) (WHS Regulations 2022 (Tas) reg 299)
- ✓ A SWMS register indexing every document, version and review date
- ✓ High risk work licences and concreter trade licences recognised in Tasmania
- ✓ 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 Tasmania 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
- ✓ Exposed aggregate and driveway works near traffic
The Tasmania law behind it
| Regulator | WorkSafe Tasmania |
| Principal Act | Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (Tas) |
| Regulations | Work Health and Safety Regulations 2022 (Tas) |
| Duty to prepare a SWMS | WHS Regulations 2022 (Tas) reg 299 |
| High risk construction work defined in | WHS Regulations 2022 (Tas) reg 291 |
Tasmania remade its regulations as the WHS Regulations 2022, replacing the 2012 version, so current SWMS duties are cited to the 2022 Regulations and enforced by WorkSafe Tasmania.
Tasmania's industrial manslaughter offence commenced on 2 October 2024, with maximum penalties of 21 years imprisonment for an individual and an $18 million fine for a body corporate. That is the enforcement backdrop your WHS document set has to stand up to on a Tasmania site.
The hazards these documents have to control
A concreter SWMS in Tasmania 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 Tasmania, in one go
The Trade SWMS Pack generates all 8 SWMS above from one questionnaire, cited to Tasmania law, plus the register, toolbox talks and sign-on sheets, for A$179.
