Why do telecommunications and security projects need WHS planning?

WHS SWMS and Work on High-Risk Sites · 2026-05-27

These projects can involve ladders, elevated work, roof or ceiling spaces, electrical services, mobile plant, travel and occupied workplaces. WHS planning identifies the hazards and the controls needed before technicians begin.

The safety review should identify the task, location, access method, nearby services, plant movement, required permits, protective equipment and any site-specific rules or inductions. Pacific prepares Safe Work Method Statements where required and uses a Take 5 step in its job process, with fuller risk assessment for high-risk work. Staff hold relevant tickets for equipment they are expected to operate.
