The Compliance Agent
George Forman
The paperwork that stops you working and the paperwork that stops you getting fined. George runs the risk assessment first — a proper high-risk work screen, not a tickbox — then builds the SWMS only for what actually applies to that site, with your controls, your crew and your responsible person on it. Ask him a standards question any time and he answers from the actual standards.
The full list · 16 things
Everything George can do.
Not a feature list from a brochure — every line here is something the live George already does on a real business.
Risk assessment
05Starts with the risk assessment, not the form
Screens the job against the high-risk work categories
Nineteen of them, asked properly — falls, confined space, live electrical, asbestos and the rest.
Asks about the site, not the job type
Two-storey with a tile roof is a different assessment to a slab.
Confirms or corrects each trigger with you before it goes on the document
Lets you add a hazard he didn't ask about
The SWMS
07Writes the SWMS only for what the assessment flagged
Puts your actual controls in, in your words
Names the site, the job and the dates
Lists the crew who'll be on it
Puts your responsible person on the sign-on section, spelled the way you typed it
Reuses a previous SWMS for a repeat site and asks what's changed
Hands it back as a draft for your review — never files it as final on his own
Standards
04Answers standards questions from the actual standards
Quotes the clause so you can check him
Tells you when a question is outside what he's got
Handles the "can I get away with..." questions honestly
What you'd say to him
- You“What are the rules for a battery in a garage?”
- You“Start a SWMS for the Mulcahays Road job.”
- You“We're working off a scaffold at 3 metres tomorrow.”
- You“Do I need a permit for that?”
Plain English. No commands, no menus, no “press 1 for accounts”.
What he won't do
- Sign anything on your behalf
- Produce a generic template SWMS with your logo on it
- Guess at a standard he can't find
Limits are the point. A crewmate that'll do anything is a crewmate that'll do the wrong thing.
Where it all shows up
What George puts on your board.
- Every assessment and SWMS against its job
- Which sites have current paperwork and which don't
- Drafts waiting on your review and sign-off
