Questions
What is a SWMS?
A Safe Work Method Statement lists the high-risk construction work in a job, its hazards, the controls you'll use and how you'll check they work. The business doing the work must have one before high-risk construction work starts.
Is a OneClickSWMS SWMS compliant?
It's written for Australian WHS laws, with the high-risk work list for your state. No tool can know your site, so you must check it fits the job and the site and talk it through with your workers before work starts. You're responsible for the final SWMS.
How do credits work?
Drafts, edits and sign-ons are free. A credit is used when you finalise a SWMS: a standard SWMS uses 1 credit, a complex one 2. Plan credits refresh at each renewal; bought credits don't expire while we run OneClickSWMS.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel online any time in Account, no notice needed. Your plan runs to the end of the period you've paid for, and your SWMS and records stay.
Does my crew need an app?
No. Your crew scans the QR code or opens the link, reads the SWMS and signs on their phone. No app, no password.
What happens to my records?
Your SWMS, versions, PDFs and sign-ons stay in your account. You can view and download them free, any time, with or without a plan.
