Mobile concrete crusher SWMS, drafted for your job
Feeding broken concrete into a mobile crusher creates silica dust, flying fragments and crush zones around the jaws, conveyors and loading plant. Describe the job and site so your SWMS is drafted around them, then check the controls on site before work starts.

Hazards and controls
What goes wrong on a mobile concrete crusher 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
Silica dust escaping concrete crusher jaws and transfer points
High- Use working dust suppression at the feed, crusher and discharge points
- Keep people away from the dust plume and use filtered enclosed plant cabs
- Clean settled dust with wet methods or suitable extraction
- 2
Loader and excavator movements beside the concrete crusher hopper
High- Barrier the feeding area and provide a separate pedestrian route
- Agree feed signals and stop loading when someone enters the plant zone
- 3
Stored jaw force releasing concrete during crusher blockage clearing
Extreme- Isolate and lock out all drives before accessing the crushing chamber
- Use the machine blockage procedure and mechanical clearing tools from protected positions
- 4
Hands drawn into concrete crusher belt rollers and pulleys
High- Keep conveyor guards and access barriers fitted during operation
- Lock out the conveyor and release stored energy before cleaning trapped rubble
- 5
Reinforcing steel and concrete fragments thrown from the crusher feed
High- Sort feed and remove unsuitable or oversized material mechanically
- Keep workers outside the discharge and feed ejection areas
- 6
Crusher screens falling or shifting during replacement
High- Support screens with suitable lifting equipment before releasing their fixings
- Block raised components and confirm isolation before maintenance begins
- 7
Sustained crusher jaw and engine noise reaching the feeding crew
High- Separate the crusher from occupied work areas and use enclosed operator cabs
- Keep acoustic covers fitted and use hearing protection in the crushing area

- Every six months, or when the method or rules change
What if reinforcing steel bridges the crusher hopper?
Stop feeding and keep people clear of the hopper. Use the machine’s isolation and blockage-clearing procedure, with mechanical handling from a protected position rather than someone climbing onto the feed.
How should dust controls follow the crushing process?
Describe the crusher feed, transfer belts, stockpiles and prevailing wind. Include suppression at release points, enclosed operator cabs, separated access and a cleanup method that does not lift settled silica dust.
How much does a mobile concrete crusher 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.
