Tick at least one task first.
Everyone knows the routine: dig out last month's SWMS, change the date and the address, print, done. It works until a site auditor reads it and finds controls for a job you're not doing and nothing about the one you are. Then it's a stop-work, a builder who remembers, and an afternoon writing the real thing anyway.
This generator starts from the task, not the template. Tick what you're actually doing and the hazards and controls for those tasks come pre-written, in the structure auditors expect: activity, hazards, initial risk, controls, residual risk, sign-off. Add the site-specific bits and you're covered properly in less time than the photocopier takes to warm up.
A SWMS is compliant when it reflects the actual work, the actual site and the actual controls you'll use, and your workers have read and signed it. This tool gives you a solid draft with the standard hazards and controls for each task filled in, in the standard format. You still review it against the job, add anything site-specific, and get it signed. What it saves you is the hour of photocopying last month's form and changing the date, which is exactly the habit that gets torn up by a site auditor.
Whenever the job includes high-risk construction work as defined by WHS Regulation 291. That covers work on or near energised electrical installations, work where someone could fall more than 2 metres, trenches deeper than 1.5 metres, work near asbestos, structural alterations needing temporary support, and more. Tasks in this tool that trigger the requirement are flagged in red.
No catch and no email gate. We make an AI receptionist and job-management toolkit for tradies, and Pro plans include digital SWMS and safety forms your crew can sign on their phones. If the free generator saves you an hour, you'll remember who built it. That's the whole model.
Print it or save it as a PDF from the print dialog, and keep it with the job records like any other SWMS. If you want SWMS that live with the job, get signed digitally, and resurface for repeat work, that's what the safety forms in the BackOnTools Pro plan do.
BackOnTools Pro keeps safety forms with the job: SWMS and JSAs your workers read and sign digitally, stored against the job record for the day the auditor asks. Plus an AI receptionist answering your phone while you're on the tools.
