§ The silica crackdown is here

Don't get knocked off site over paperwork

You'd rather be on the tools than on a laptop at 9pm — but one SWMS that doesn't stack up can cost you the job, and silica's now under the microscope. Build a site-specific, audit-ready SWMS in minutes.

§01 — The stakes

Silica is the new asbestos.

The rules changed fast. If your work makes silica dust, last year's template won't cut it. Here's what's now in force.

1 Jul 2024

Engineered stone banned

Manufacture, supply, processing & installation prohibited nationwide.

1 Sep 2024

1% is the new line

Work with ≥1% crystalline silica is regulated — extra controls & documentation apply.

Your SWMS

Does double duty

A compliant SWMS can capture the silica control measures you're required to document.

1 Oct 2025

Registers go live

NSW now requires high-risk crystalline-silica work to be recorded.

Based on current Safe Work Australia & state regulator guidance. Requirements vary by state and change — confirm against your own regulator. Not legal advice.

§02 — The fix

Three steps. Done before smoko.

No safety degree required. The tool walks you through it — most blokes have a signed SWMS before the kettle's boiled.

Pick

Pick your state

The tool applies the right fall heights, thresholds and code-of-practice references for your jurisdiction.

Tick

Tick your high-risk work

A guided checklist for all 18 HRCW activities — with silica-cutting tasks pre-loaded for the trades that need them.

Build

Build, sign & export

Use the pre-written hazard libraries, get your crew to sign on-site, export a clean PDF with your logo.

See how it works

§03 — See it work

Build it. Sign it. Send it.

STEP 01

Build your SWMS

Pre-filled libraries — including silica tasks — plus custom tasks on the fly.

STEP 02

Capture signatures

Your whole crew signs off on a laptop or Android device, right there on site.

STEP 03

Export a pro PDF

A clean, audit-ready document with your logo — ready for the principal contractor.

§04 — Why us

Free templates are thin.
Real software costs a bomb.

There's a gap in the middle — and that's exactly where we sit. Built like the expensive software, priced like a tradie can afford.

FREE GOV TEMPLATE

Generic, static, no silica, no sign-off, no reuse. You're still doing all the thinking.

AUSSIE TOOLKIT

From $19

Site-specific, silica-ready, digital sign-off, audit PDF. Free to build, pay to export.

SAFETY SOFTWARE

~$1,570/yr

Powerful, but locked-in subscriptions that price out the average sole trader.

§05 — Why we built this

We reckon the tradies who build this country shouldn't be punished by paperwork. Working safe shouldn't take a safety degree, a consultant, or a $1,500-a-year subscription.

Read why

§06 — Honest pricing

Build free. Pay when it's worth it.

No locked-in monthly trap. Pay per job, go unlimited, or grab a Founder licence while they last.

Pay as you go

$19/SWMS

For the odd job. 5-pack $79. Credits never expire.

§07 — Fair questions

The short answers.

Is it really free to use?

Yes — you build your whole SWMS free and see exactly what you're getting. You only pay to export the clean, watermark-free PDF (or sign it off). No card to start.

Does it cover silica & engineered stone?

Yes — crystalline-silica controls (water suppression, on-tool extraction, the 0.05 mg/m³ standard, health monitoring, P2/P3 RPE) are built into the relevant trades.

One-time or subscription?

Your call — pay $19 per SWMS, or go Pro for unlimited at $24/mo. No forced monthly bill. (Lifetime access is invite-only for our first 100 founders — grab the free template to unlock yours.)

What devices does it work on?

Any modern browser on Windows, Mac & Android. Due to Apple restrictions the on-site signature feature is limited on iPhone/iPad — use a laptop or Android for sign-offs.
