Hazards and controls
What goes wrong on a mould remediation clean 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
Mould spores released while damaged plasterboard and insulation are removed
High- Isolate the affected area and use suitable filtered extraction before disturbing material
- Dampen materials where suitable and bag them at the removal point
- 2
Mould dust escaping through doors and shared ventilation ducts
High- Seal the work boundary and isolate shared air paths before removal
- Check containment and filtered airflow; stop if the boundary is damaged
- 3
Falls through water-weakened floors beneath mould damaged linings
High- Inspect damp structures and barrier areas that cannot support the crew
- Arrange structural assessment before removing damaged supporting material
- 4
Shock from water-damaged wiring behind mould affected walls
Extreme- Have affected electrical circuits isolated and tested before opening wet linings
- Keep cleaning water and extraction equipment clear of exposed electrical parts
- 5
Cleaning solution splashing while mouldy surfaces are scrubbed overhead
Medium- Choose a suitable lower hazard product and use controlled application
- Wear splash protection and avoid mixing cleaning products
- 6
Mould debris spreading along the waste route to the skip
Medium- Seal waste inside containment and clean bag exteriors before transfer
- Use a designated waste route separated from occupied clean areas

Does the draft cover removing mouldy plasterboard?
Yes. Describe the affected materials and occupied areas nearby. The draft includes containment, filtered extraction, controlled removal and sealing waste before it moves through the building.
Can the room reopen while the wall is still damp?
The moisture source and remaining dampness need assessment before the area is handed back. The draft includes drying and checking the work area, rather than relying on the disappearance of visible mould alone.
How much does a mould remediation clean 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?
Open it, make the changes they asked for and re-issue it. Corrections to the same job are free.
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.
