This ensures that our clients are informed of how the job will be carried out detailing any control measures that would be put in place. The Method Statement is based on the Risk Assessment, which details assessment of the risks to the Health & Safety of our employees, our clients and the general public who could be directly affected by the work that we carry out. These have proved to be an effective and practical project management tool.
