AI SWMS Review: Gaps Caught Before Work Starts.

A contractor attaches a method statement to the permit. Before the supervisor approves the work, the AI has read it against your criteria and told the contractor what would fix each gap. The supervisor decides with the assessment beside it.

The Risks in the SWMS Found Before the Permit Is Signed.

AI SWMS Review is an AI agent on the question where a method statement is submitted: a work permit, a SWMS form, or the high-risk section of a prequalification. The contractor attaches the SWMS and runs AI Review. Each criterion is marked Pass, Partial, or Fail with the reason. Your approver decides with the assessment beside the document.

  • On the permit, where the work is. The SWMS is read against the criteria for that permit type before the supervisor approves the job.
  • In the prequalification, before they start. Read against the high-risk work the Supplier declared, from the list of 18 categories.
  • Approvers who are not SWMS experts. The assessment names what is missing in plain words, so a facilities manager approves with the reasons in front of them.

How It Works

Three Screens That Carry the Feature.

The agent on the permit, the SWMS read when the contractor runs AI Review, and the approval with the assessment beside it.

The Agent, Set on the Permit or SWMS Form.

In AI Tools, build an agent for the SWMS document type. The product drafts criteria for a method statement; you keep, edit, weight, or add your own. Attach it to the permit type or SWMS form and the question where the file is uploaded.

  • Criteria for a method statement, drafted then yours
  • One agent per permit or form type
  • Preview against a real SWMS before it is live

The SWMS, Read When the Contractor Asks.

The contractor raises the permit and attaches their SWMS. They run AI Review and, in 10 to 60 seconds, see each criterion marked Pass, Partial, or Fail with the reason, and what would meet it. They can revise the SWMS and run it again, up to 3 times, before submitting the permit.

  • Pass, Partial, or Fail per criterion, with the reason
  • What would meet each criterion, in plain words
  • Three reviews, so the SWMS that reaches you is better

The Permit Approved, With the Assessment Beside the SWMS.

The supervisor or facilities manager opens the permit and sees the SWMS, the assessment, and the criteria together. They approve the work, ask for more, or reject with the reasons attached. The assessment and the decision stay on the permit for the record.

  • The assessment beside the document, downloadable
  • Approve, request more, or reject with reasons
  • On the permit record, for the audit

What It Is Worth

Every SWMS Read, Fewer Delays, a Record for the Audit.

No figure here is a promise. The return depends on how many permits carry a SWMS and who approves them today, so bring those numbers to the demo and we will work it through with you.

For the person approving the permit

  • What the SWMS misses, named

    The failed criteria and the reasons, before you open the document. You read the whole thing only where you need to.

  • A standard you did not have to memorise

    The criteria hold what a good method statement for that work looks like. The assessment applies them for you.

  • The reasons written for the contractor

    A rejection carries the criterion and what would meet it, so you are not composing the explanation.

For the business

  • Every SWMS actually read

    The method statement waved through at the end of a shift is the one the criteria read as carefully as the first.

  • Approvers who are not safety specialists

    A facilities manager or site supervisor approves a permit with an expert’s checklist applied and explained.

  • Fewer permits held up

    The contractor fixes the SWMS before submitting, so the work starts when it was planned to.

  • The assessment on the permit record

    What the SWMS was read against, what it covered, and who approved it, kept together for the audit or the investigation.

The return, in your numbers

  • Permits with a SWMS a month

    Across every site. That is how many method statements someone is meant to read.

  • Minutes per SWMS today

    What a real read takes now, against reading the assessment first. Be honest about the ones that are not read at all.

  • Permits delayed by a SWMS

    How often work waits for a method statement to come back today, against a contractor who has fixed it before submitting.

Questions

Questions People Ask About AI SWMS Review.

Does the AI approve the permit or the SWMS?

No. It reads the method statement against your criteria and marks each one Pass, Partial, or Fail with the reason. The approver sees that beside the document and decides. Nothing is approved without a person.

Where does it run?

Wherever a SWMS is submitted as a file on a form: a work permit, a SWMS form type, or the high-risk work section of the prequalification. It is an AI agent on that question.

What does it read the SWMS against?

Your criteria. Build the agent for the SWMS document type and the product drafts criteria for a method statement; you keep, edit, weight, or add your own. In the prequalification, the SWMS is read against the high-risk work categories the Supplier declared.

Does the SWMS have to be site-specific?

On a permit, that is your criteria’s call. At prequalification, the Help Centre says it does not need to be site-specific; the site-specific one comes with the permit for the work.

Does ComplyFlow write the SWMS for the contractor?

This page describes review. The contractor writes or supplies their method statement; ComplyFlow reads it against your criteria and tells them what it misses.

What does it cost?
