Work method statement

A work method statement is a plan that grown-ups use to help them do work safely and correctly. Just like how you make a plan to build a fort or play a game with your friends, grown-ups need to make a plan when doing important work.

The work method statement helps grown-ups make sure they have all the tools and equipment they need to do the work. They also think about any risks or dangers that might happen and plan how to avoid them.

For example, if a grown-up is building a big tower, they need to think about how high it is and how they will stay safe working up high. They might use special safety equipment like harnesses and ropes.

The work method statement also helps the grown-up remember all the steps they need to take to finish the work on time and correctly. They might need to follow a specific order of steps, like building the base of the tower before working on the top.

By using a work method statement, grown-ups can make sure their work is done safely, correctly and efficiently.
