Your HSE method statement serves as your blueprint for project safety and success. This template guides you through documenting critical safety protocols, from initial hazard assessments to detailed control measures and emergency procedures. It also has an environmental considerations section, allowing you to address both worker safety and environmental protection in a single document. When managing excavation work near sensitive ecological areas, for instance, you can clearly outline both worker safety protocols and environmental safeguards.
According to the Health and Safety Executive, method statements are not legally mandated, but they’re proven effective tools for planning and managing construction work safely. This template transforms complex safety planning into a straightforward, actionable process.
