I am relatively new to the practical side of
OHS although I have completed a Cert IV in
OHS.
I gained some much needed experience on a very large construction job. THe company running the project had really good SWMS and ongoing task evaluations. I now find myself working with another organisation with SWMS that are I think pretty ordinary - certainly not to the same standard as the my previous experience.
The reason that I have been given for 'ordinary' SWMS is that if they are too complicated people won't read them. I find this a pretty unacceptable reason for doing poor SWMS.
I am conscious of all the legal ramifications of not folllowing
OHS guidelines properly.
What are you experiences with SWMS and what do you think is appropriate - too much or just enough.
