To maintain site safety and compliance, SWMS must be reviewed and approved before workers can acknowledge them as part of the sign-on process.
Review a SWMS in BuildPass
Step 1: Locate SWMS awaiting review
Open the relevant project in BuildPass Admin.
From the project overview, scroll down to the SWMS to Review section.
This section displays all SWMS that have been submitted and are awaiting review.
Step 2: Open the SWMS
Click on the SWMS you want to review.
This will open the SWMS details page, where you can view the document and any associated information.
Step 3: Review the SWMS content
Carefully check the SWMS to ensure:
The scope of work is accurate
Hazards and controls are appropriate
All required information has been provided
If changes are required, you can request updates before approving.
Step 4: Mark the SWMS as reviewed
Once you’re satisfied, click Mark as Reviewed.
This confirms the SWMS has been reviewed and approved for use on the project.
Once reviewed, workers will be able to view and sign the SWMS as part of their sign-on or induction process.
