Job Description*
We'll be installing structural steel beams and columns for a 500m² warehouse extension at the client's distribution center in Campbellfield. Work involves unloading steel members from trucks using a mobile crane.
Our guided workflow captures key safety inputs such as hazardous chemicals, project duration, equipment, and work activities, ensuring nothing critical is missed.
Turn Job Details into a Compliant SWMS
Creating a SWMS begins with a simple job description. Workex uses this information to automatically identify risks, hazards, and equipment requirements.
Because SWMS regulations vary across Australian states and territories, users are prompted to select the job location. This ensures the system applies the correct compliance requirements for that jurisdiction.
Smart Equipment Detection
Based on the job description and selected activities, Workex automatically generates a list of equipment likely to be used on the job.
This reduces manual entry and helps ensure the SWMS reflects the real tools and machinery involved. Users can easily add, remove, or modify equipment to match the exact job conditions.
Equipment to be used*
Mobile crane (20-tonne capacity)
Elevated work platforms
Gas cylinders
Levels
Rigging equipment
Tape measures
MIG/stick welders
Risk Assessments Built from Proven Standards
Workex generates risk assessments using data derived from previously approved SWMS documents and recognised industry Codes of Practice.
Each step of the job is automatically populated with associated hazards, risk levels, and recommended control measures. This ensures the SWMS is grounded in established safety practices while still allowing full flexibility.
Users can review, reorder, edit, add, or remove steps to ensure the document accurately reflects how the work will be performed.

Smart PPE Identification
Workex uses smart industry insights to identify the personal protective equipment required for manufacturing tasks based on the selected work activities.
This helps ensure critical safety requirements such as fall protection, hearing protection, or respiratory equipment are clearly highlighted before work begins. Teams can easily adjust these selections to match the real conditions on the factory floor or maintenance area.
Relevant industry standards and Codes of Practice are also surfaced within the workflow, allowing manufacturing teams to reference the underlying safety guidance whenever needed.
Collect Worker Signatures on the Frontline
Workers can review and sign the SWMS directly from their mobile device. Signatures can be captured inside the Workex app or sent via email for contractors and casual workers.
This ensures every person involved in the job acknowledges the safety procedures before work begins.
