Hazards and controls
What goes wrong on a mobile concrete batching machine job, and how the SWMS controls it
These rows are written for this task. Your draft adds the ones your site and method need.
- 1
Mobile batching unit settling beneath loaded hoppers and cement storage
Extreme- Prepare firm level standing ground for the fully loaded batching unit
- Set supports as directed and stop if the unit settles or shifts
- 2
Entanglement clearing concrete build-up inside the batching mixer
Extreme- Isolate and lock out drives, feeders and stored energy before access
- Keep guards fitted during operation and plan any internal entry separately
- 3
Cement dust escaping while mobile batching hoppers are filled
High- Use enclosed transfer and suitable dust collection at cement filling points
- Keep workers clear of discharge plumes and wear a fitted particulate respirator
- 4
Workers struck by the loader feeding aggregate into batching hoppers
Extreme- Separate pedestrian access from the loader approach and hopper loading zone
- Stop loading before anyone enters to inspect or clear the feed area
- 5
Hands caught in aggregate conveyors feeding the mobile mixer
High- Keep conveyor nip points guarded and prevent access during batching
- Isolate the feeder before clearing bridging material or adjusting belts
- 6
Cement slurry and water spraying from batching machine washout hoses
High- Contain washout in a designated area away from walking routes
- Shut down and release hose pressure before changing fittings or clearing blockages

Does it cover clearing a blocked aggregate hopper?
Yes. The draft includes stopping and isolating the feed system before blockages are addressed. Workers stay outside the hopper and conveyor area while loading or batching equipment can move.
Can the batching mixer be entered for cleaning?
Internal entry needs a separate assessment and method. The draft includes isolating drives, feeders and stored energy first, and planning access, air conditions and rescue where internal cleaning cannot be avoided.
How much does a mobile concrete batching machine SWMS cost?
One job uses 1 SWMS when you finalise: A$39 for one, however many high-risk activities it covers. AI drafting needs a SWMS pack or plan. Packs and Yearly cost less per SWMS.
Is this a template?
No. You describe the job and the site, and the SWMS is drafted for them. You edit anything, then finalise it.
Who checks the SWMS?
You do, with your crew, on site before work starts. The draft gives you a strong starting point; the person running the work makes sure it matches the site.
My builder sent it back. What now?

How does my crew sign it?
Show the QR code on your phone or print the A4 sign-on sheet. Workers read and sign on their own phones without an account.
Does it work in my state?
Yes. You choose the state before drafting, and the document names the law that applies there. Victoria uses its OHS Regulations.
