The Pestie's WHS Reference Card for Pest Management Works
Planning a job involving working at height (netting, spikes), electrical works (Shock Track), or hot works (heat treatment). Each scope of work has its own WHS framework and getting the requirements clear before the job starts is what holds up on a managed site. The Pestie's WHS Reference Card is the printable summary that travels with the project pack.
What's on the card
An A4 printable PDF, one or two pages. A hazard categories table covering working at height, electrical, hot works, biological, and chemical exposures. For each category, the relevant ticket or qualification required, the SWMS reference points, and the control hierarchy applied: elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, PPE. The framework is the standard Australian work health and safety scaffolding adapted to the specifics of pest management installs.
Built for pesties, installers, and site supervisors
Managed sites (commercial construction, food production, large facility) require WHS documentation as part of contractor onboarding and toolbox talks. The card carries the answers in one place: who needs the ticket, which SWMS clause covers the activity, what control hierarchy the principal contractor expects to see. The WHS content has been built conservatively and is current; budget time for a WHS consultant to review before publishing on regulated sites.
