Who it is for
Australian builders, tradespeople and small site teams preparing Safe Work Method Statements and Job Safety Analyses for high risk construction work, without paying a consultant or rewriting old Word templates.
How the software works
- Enter your business details, job description, site and state or territory.
- Generate a draft with job steps, hazards, controls and risk ratings.
- Review and edit the draft against the actual work and site conditions.
- Export a branded PDF with business details and a sign-on register. Save and reuse documents for later jobs, reviewing each new site's requirements.
SWMS, JSA and JSEA documents
A SWMS addresses high-risk construction work. A JSA breaks a task into steps to identify hazards and controls; it does not replace a required SWMS. A JSEA also considers environmental impacts. Use the linked guides below to compare the formats and see filled examples.
Subscription and exports
Pro costs $20 AUD per month or $200 AUD per year to download unlimited SWMS and JSA PDFs. It includes branded PDF export, a sign-on register, business profile and document versioning. Signing up and drafting are free; a subscription is only required to download PDFs. GST is applied at checkout where applicable. Downloaded PDFs remain yours if you cancel.
Reviewing an AI draft
The software helps with drafting. A generated document does not certify the work as safe or guarantee legal compliance. Check the proposed tasks and controls with the people doing the work, edit omissions, and confirm the requirements for your jurisdiction before using it on site.

Check the official guidance
A SWMS sets out the high-risk construction activities, their hazards and the controls to use. Prepare it before the work starts, adapt it to the site and review it when the work or controls change. Consult the people doing the work. An AI draft or example needs review before use.
