A draft SWMS for NSW and QLD,

How it works

Three steps. Done on site.

No forms. No laptops. Just speak — Tradietool handles the transcription, picks out the hazards, rates the risks and runs its automatic checks.

Step 01

Record

Speak for 30 seconds on site. Describe your task, conditions, tools, and location. No typing. No paperwork.

Step 02

Review

AI drafts the SWMS — hazards, risk matrix, controls, PPE and emergency contacts — for you to check before sign-off.

Step 03

Approve

PCBU digital sign-off. Timestamped approval and audit trail.

Stop using generic SWMS templates

Looking for a SWMS template? A template gives you the same document for every job. Tradietool drafts a SWMS for the job in front of you, from what you say about it, for you and the PCBU to check and approve. Start with an electrical SWMS, or read what a SWMS is and when you need one.

FAQ

Questions about SWMS and Tradietool

What is a SWMS?

A SWMS, or Safe Work Method Statement, is a short safety document for high risk construction work. It sets out the high risk work in the job, the hazards and risks that come with it, and how those risks will be controlled, before anyone starts. Read the plain-English guide.

Is Tradietool a SWMS template?

No. A template gives you the same document for every job. Tradietool drafts a separate SWMS for each job from your voice note or typed description, for you and the PCBU to check and approve before work starts.

Which trades and states does Tradietool cover?

Electrical SWMS are available now for NSW and Queensland. Plumbing, carpentry, scaffolding and other trades are coming soon. Other states are coming later. See electrical SWMS.

Is Tradietool free?

Yes. It's free during the beta, and you don't need a card to join. If we bring in paid plans later, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice, and you'll only pay if you choose a paid plan.

Ready to ditch the paperwork?

Speak the job for 30 seconds and review a draft SWMS before your crew starts.
