SWMS Tiling
Workplace Safety has conducted a comprehensive hazard analysis for laying floor tiles, e.g. how to lay floor tiles with control measures developed for identified hazards per the hierarchy of risk controls.
Assess and review health and safety practices in the workplace to control risk
WHS consultation with employees on health and safety matters to identify potential hazards with how to lay tiles on the floor
Risk assessment to identify hazard and risk in the workplace that could result in death or serious injury
Health and safety planning for how to lay tiles on floor, e.g. minimise risks through the planning process
WHS consultation and participation processes ensure adequate health and safety communication
Workplace environmental hazards, e.g. confined space and working at heights
Slip trips and falls in the workplace having the potential to cause death or serious injury
Implementation of controls for tiling floors, e.g. isolation of hazards and services in hazardous areas
Safety information for employees to control risks
Method to minimise risk when measuring to mark tile materials to be cut
Equipment needed for tiling, e.g. power drill, mixer
Cutting tools to cut floor tiles, e.g. tile saw, angle grinder
Floor preparation for tiling, e.g. tiling on concrete floors, requires that bumps and high spots are removed
Method to minimise risk when setting out tiling works
Method of setting out floor tiles per tiling designs identified in a tiling plan
Mix tiling adhesive, refer to chemical safety data sheet for specific chemical hazards and control measures
Lay floor tiles per tiling layout plan, e.g. floor tiling methods
Grouting of tiles is the mixing of tile grout per chemical safety data sheets and how to grout floor tile
Personal decontamination procedures to be implemented where exposure to silicahas taken place, e.g. correct method for removing PPE
Hazardous chemicals used in connection with tiling a floor, e.g. tile adhesive, tile grout
Hazardous manual tasks in connection with tiling a floor
Personal protective equipment, e.g. eye protection wear, chemical gloves, respirator
WHS training for workers, e.g. health and safety training for tiling a floor
Workplace housekeeping incorporating material handling and storage safety
Legislative and regulatory requirements for compliance with WHS legislation, e.g. work health and safety regulations, construction work code of practice and floor tiling standards
Monitoring controls, e.g. assessment and review the effectiveness of control measures
Tiling tasks and activities in connection with tiling a floor
Tiling SWMS
How to Lay Floor Tiles
Tiling SWMS shall assess the risk of construction high-risk activities for tiling a floor.
High-risk work activities that may expose workers to WHS hazards are likely to include but not be limited to:
Working in a confined space
Plant and equipment used in the work task
Use of hand and power tools
Exposure to hazardous chemical, e.g. tile adhesive
Other hazards with tiling a floor
