The total WHS systems was planned to ensure it was systematic and pragmatic e.g. one SWMS per project or activity e.g. Crane and Slinging work, and not several SWMS for each step activity within Crane and Slinging work.

In response, the relevant NCS Plant Assessment had ample content of identified risks, assessments and controls, and the associated SWMS had high consequent statements to prevent a reoccurrence, followed up with high consequent Operator consultation and training engagement Safe Work Method Statements and Safe Operating Procedures.
