Method Statement FAQs
How do I complete a method statement for my business?
Completing a method statement is straightforward with our pre-filled, editable templates. Each template is structured to guide you through the process — helping you outline the task, identify hazards, and detail the step-by-step procedures and safety controls in place.
Designed for small businesses, contractors, and tradespeople, our method statement templates are easy to customise to suit your specific project or work activity. With clear examples and guidance included, you can create a professional, compliant document without starting from scratch.
What is a method statement?
A method statement is your go-to guide for carrying out a task safely. Think of it as your roadmap or instruction manual for the job at hand. You might hear it called by different names like safe systems of work or SWMS. Essentially, it's all about outlining the safest way to get the job done. While it doesn't have to be lengthy, it should cover all the essentials in clear and concise detail, ensuring everyone understands how to work safely.
Why are method statements important?
Method statements are crucial for ensuring that tasks are carried out safely, especially those involving high-risk activities. They provide clear instructions to workers and help manage health and safety risks by outlining proper procedures and controls.
Who should prepare the method statement?
Typically, the method statement is prepared by a supervisor, project manager, or safety officer who has detailed knowledge of the task and understands the associated risks and safety requirements.
How does a method statement differ from a risk assessment?
A risk assessment identifies and evaluates potential risks associated with a particular task, while a method statement describes how to carry out the task safely, taking into account the findings of the risk assessment. Essentially, the risk assessment provides the "why" and the method statement provides the "how".
When should a method statement be used?
Method statements should be used whenever complex, high-risk, or unusual tasks are undertaken. They are particularly essential in industries like construction, manufacturing, and engineering where safety is critical.
