Search ‘method statement template’ and you get static files and gated lead forms — the top government result is even a planning-consent document, not a safety one. Little of it helps you actually write a safe system of work.
This structures it for you: a numbered sequence of work, the PPE, plant and people, and a link to your risk assessment.
A numbered safe system of work — linked to your risk assessment
A good method statement describes, step by step, how the task will be done safely. This gives you a numbered sequence of work plus the PPE, plant and personnel, so nothing is left implied.
Reference your risk assessment and the two together become your RAMS — built on the same structure, in the same place.
Risk assessment + method statement = RAMS
Risk assessment
Identifies the hazards and rates the risk — the what could go wrong.
Method statement
Describes the safe system of work step by step — the how we do it safely.
Everything a method statement needs
A method statement in three steps
From the task to a briefed, downloadable document.
Set the task & the team
The project, scope, who’s doing it, and the PPE and plant involved.
Write the sequence
Add the steps in order — the safe system of work, numbered automatically.
Link the RA & download
Reference your risk assessment, then download the PDF or editable Word for briefing and sign-off.
A document aid, not H&S advice
The law requires a safe system of work (Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, s2). A method statement documents that system — it isn't itself a named statutory form, and this tool doesn't decide what's safe for your task.
It's a document aid; a competent person is responsible for the content and the safe system of work. This isn't health-and-safety or legal advice.
Turn it into a connected job workflow
FieldHive keeps the enquiry, quote, job, invoice and payment connected — so it's built from the accepted quote instead of retyped, and the numbers carry through.
