H & S Sample Method Statement

[JClarkCeramics]

Hi

I have been asked to supply a Health & Safety 'Sample Method Statement' for a job I have taken on. I haven't been asked to supply one before. Can anyone give me any advice/information on this please?

Thanks

This should get you started, hope it helps.

A work method statement, sometimes called a "safe system of work", is a document that details the way a work task or process is to be completed. The method statement should outline the hazards involved and include a step by step guide on how to do the job safely. The method statement must also detail which control measures have been introduced to ensure the safety of anyone who is affected by the task or process.
The first section of your method statement document is the header information and should be used to provide information to your staff or prospective clients, this section might include;
A Title e.g. Work Method Statement, or Standard Operating Procedure
A brief description of the works, task or process
Your company details, logo, name, address etc
Start date, completion date
Site address
Site contact details including emergency numbers etc
Document author, H&S contact
Document number, issue date, revision date, revision number etc
