METHOD STATEMENT: IT’S MORE THAN A DOCUMENT.

 🚨 METHOD STATEMENT: IT’S MORE THAN A DOCUMENT.

A method statement explains how a task will be carried out safely—step by step, with the hazards, controls, responsibilities, equipment and emergency arrangements clearly defined.

Before work begins, ask:

📋 Is the method statement available and understood?

⚠️ Have the hazards and risks been identified?

🛡️ Are the required controls actually in place?

👷 Do the workers understand their roles?

🔄 Has it been reviewed if site conditions change?

A method statement sitting in an office does not control risk. It becomes useful when the people doing the work understand it and follow the agreed controls.

🔥 PLAN IT. CONTROL IT. DO IT SAFELY.
