Download Your Free Method Statement Template

To help you properly manage your workplace risks and their control procedures, we’ve put together this free method statement template, which includes:

  • All the possible workplace hazards that apply to your business
  • The control procedures you need to have in place for every possible scenario
  • A step-by-step process, to be completed by your competent person, so people can continue working safely and compliantly

Why are method statements important?

  • Legally required for businesses with five or more employees to have an up-to-date risk assessment under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
  • Not legally required but recommended to have a method statement template to show how to reduce risks identified in the risk assessment
  • Smaller businesses with less than five employees may also conduct risk assessments and complete a method statement if their work is high-risk (e.g., construction)
