Which Hebel fixings should the crew check on site?
The brackets, fasteners, spacing and temporary support sequence for the panel system — identify the system and supporting frame in the job details and check them against the installation information before panels are lifted into place.
Does cutting Hebel need a separate work area?
Yes — plan a cutting station away from other workers and occupied areas. Include the saw, dust suppression or extraction, respiratory protection and a cleanup method that avoids spreading dry dust.
How much does a hebel construction 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.
