Title: Method Statement
Post by: Davie T on September 10, 2009, 04:13:11 pm

Hi,

I am sure i have seen a Method on the Forum before but I can't find it via search.

Does anyone have a simple WFP Method Statement they could make available for me ?
Thanks

Its straight forward enough. Just write each step in turn as if you were explaining it to a half-wit.

1. park vehicle in designated parking bay.
2. cone off vehicle
3. cone off work area.
4. pull hoses to work area across the shortest distance

etc etc

66. drive off home for tea.

add it to the reverse of your risk assessment
