CVEN3101 Risk Assignment (7.5 marks) Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) are now standard practice on construction projects (except for small projects). They are a legal requirement for 'high risk' construction work, but projects now usually incorporate into a SWMS all work/activities on projects that could lead to accidents. A SWMS development follows the usual risk management steps – identification, analysis, assessment, control, review. See the lecture notes. Assume that you are the builder of a typical two-storey, four-bedroom, brick-veneer, tile-roof project home where some cut and fill will be necessary to provide a level base for a concrete ground floor slab. You have decided to personally undertake the task of developing a Safe Work Method Statement covering four trades that will be used on the project. The trades are: scaffolder, carpenter, roof tiler and roof plumber (If you don't know what a project home is, visit a HomeWorld site - https://www.homeworld.com.au/ - or other display home village scattered around Sydney.) Your assignment is to develop a SWMS for the four trades on your project. Note that there is no single answer to this, only better or worse answers. You will be graded on how realistic your submission is in the context of practical home building. And so, first learn how a house is built. Your submission is to comprise your SWMS only. Anything else included in your submission will lead to lower marks. The SWMS is to be professionally presented, such that it could be used on site by tradespeople. Correct English required. Poor presentation will lead to lower marks. Formatting Do not include UNSW logo, or pretty pictures, or anything (including pictures, tables, words, …) authored by others. Use your own words. Focus on the topic. Do not include irrelevant material. Line 1 – Assignment title; your name (as it appears in Moodle) and number. Line 2 - Line space. Lines 3 onwards - your SWMS. No cover page. No reference list. 25 mm margins all around, single line spacing, 12 point Times Roman font. Use landscape page layout throughout. Length: max 5 pages. Not adhering to this formatting will lead to lower marks. Grading Maximum mark (7.5) Minimum mark (0) Not correct formatting (lose 1.5) Not a practical SWMS (lose 1.5) Including irrelevant material (lose 1.5) Not professionally presented / poor English spelling or grammar (lose 1.5) Plagiarism (no matter how minor) (lose 7.5) 20% deduction for each calendar day late
