What is a Safe Work Procedure (SWP)?

​

A Safe Work Procedure (SWP) also commonly referred to as a Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) allows workers to perform their job in a consistent safe manner. SWPs can aid a business in regards to efficiency, output and consistency of performance while reducing risk to workers.

​

What are the Benefits of Having SWP's in Place?

​

By having an SWP in place, workers don’t have to guess what to do next and can perform their task more efficiently and without danger to themselves or others. Communicating the safe way to perform work tasks, our SWP templates have clear step-by-step instructions for carrying out work activities and are ideal for businesses looking to improve their safety systems. Our SWP templates are available for instant download and supplied in fully editable MS Word format for use in your business.
