Risk Assessment & Method Statements

Workplace Risk Assessments

The Regulation provides that employers with five or more employees must record the significant findings of their risk assessment. This record should represent an effective statement of hazards and risks which should then lead to relevant actions being taken to protect health and safety.

We help our clients understand that not all risk have to be negative and that well thought out risk assessments can lead to business improvements and increased profits. Our consultants are health and safety experts and between them have a wealth of experience in helping businesses to challenge the way they do risk assessments to achieve greater results.

Method Statements

Safety method statements are most often found in the construction sector and are particularly helpful for:

• Higher risk complex or unusual work (e.g. steel and formwork erection, demolition or the use of hazardous substances)
• Providing information to employees about how the work should be done and the precautions to be taken
• Providing the principal contractor with information to develop the health and safety plan for the construction phase of a project

We help our clients on a daily basis when it comes to producing method statements. Our diverse occupational experience ensures we can offer relevant and task specific advice on methodology, and in many cases produce a sequence of works based on this experience. Whatever your need, our approach is flexible to ensure the appropriate level of support is received.
