This Rendering Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) guides workers through the safe execution of rendering tasks. It highlights the hazards and control measures related to mobile plant movement and work in potentially contaminated or flammable atmospheres.

It covers 14 job steps, from training on the health effects of respirable crystalline silica dust and checking the weather to setting up the work area, working at height on ladders and scaffolds, surface preparation, render mixing and application, fuelling on-site, completing the work and emergency response.

It includes controls for environmental impacts, housekeeping, manual tasks, powered and non-powered tools, silica dust, cement burns and dermatitis, and hazardous substances.

It suits businesses and workers involved in rendering work, including site supervisors, safety officers and workers.
