Most SWMS records are not audit-ready when you need them.
Under WHS Regulation 2011 (Reg 299), a SWMS must be specific to the work, the site, and the conditions. Teams often lack clear signatures, a review trail, the latest version in one place, or contractor submissions tied to review decisions — while PDFs and email threads multiply. Australian courts continue to hand down large penalties where procedures did not match the work on site.

Don't risk it with a generic template
AxionSite helps you build a site-specific, task-specific SWMS from your job description — with hazards, controls and legislative references tailored to the work you describe. Pair that with review decisions, sign-ons and exports so you have stronger audit evidence and internal checks — still subject to competent-person review on site.
