Health and Safety Method Statements | Safe Work Procedures & Compliance
Health and Safety Method Statements are essential documents that outline safe work procedures for high-risk tasks. They ensure clear, structured guidance for employees, contractors, and site managers, helping businesses minimise risks and comply with UK health and safety laws.
At AL23 Safety, we specialise in developing industry-specific Method Statements that are compliant, clear, and practical. Whether your business is in construction, manufacturing, logistics, or property management, our tailored safety documentation keeps your workforce protected and operations compliant.
What Is a Health and Safety Method Statement?
A Health and Safety Method Statement is a step-by-step document that:
✔ Outlines how a specific high-risk task should be carried out safely.
✔ Identifies workplace hazards and safety control measures.
✔ Details responsibilities for workers and supervisors.
✔ Specifies emergency procedures and reporting protocols.
✔ Ensures compliance with UK workplace safety regulations.
Method Statements are widely used in high-risk industries to demonstrate due diligence and legal compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
For official UK guidance on method statements, visit the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Work Procedures Guide.
Why Are Method Statements Essential for Workplace Safety?
Using Method Statements helps businesses:
🚨 Prevent Workplace Accidents – By identifying risks before work begins.
🚨 Meet Legal Requirements – Ensuring compliance with HSE regulations and UK law.
🚨 Improve Risk Management – Reducing hazards in construction, logistics, and engineering.
🚨 Enhance Operational Efficiency – Creating clear processes for safe task execution.
🚨 Protect Businesses from Liability – Demonstrating due diligence in case of inspections or incidents.
Without proper Method Statements, businesses risk fines, legal action, and reputational damage.
