Whether you are a main contractor, subcontractor, designer or installer, you may be required to cooperate with the Principal Contractor/client so far as it is necessary, to enable them to comply with their duties under the relevant statutory provision.  This includes complying with directions given by the Principal Contractor/client to enable the work to be carried out in accordance with Health and Safety Regulations. 

More and more installers are being asked by their clients to produce a method statement as part of their Health and Safety policy, or for larger projects, under the CDM Regulations.

A method statement is a document detailing how a particular process will be carried out.  Such a statement is commonly used to describe how construction/installation works can be carried out safely, and should include background details of your company, site address and overview of the project.  It should also detail the possible dangers/risks associated with your particular part of the project and the methods of control to be established, to show how they work will be managed safely.

We can produce a method statement for you.  This can either be a combined Risk Assessment and Method Statement, or two separate documents.  Where applicable, we will create generic documents but we will always leave room for project-specific risks and controls. 

If you need any help with construction health and safety, including training, site audits, noise and vibration assessments or completing client questionnaires (CHAS and ConstructionLine), then please call.
