METHOD STATEMENT

A method statement is a document that sets out how a job will be completed and the control
measures to be adopted and followed. Although contractors are not legally obliged to produce
them, it is considered to be good practice. A method statement should identify any hazards
that may be present in the job and the safety precautions that need to be taken to deal with
them. It should state whether the works will be compatible with the activities of any other
contractor on site.
