How to Use Electrical Method Statement
- 1Describe the task — 'replace 3-phase distribution board DB-03 on Level 2 and re-terminate all circuits'.
- 2Pick the task type: General Installation, Live / Near-Live Working, HV / MV Operations, Testing & Inspection, Planned Maintenance, Cable Installation, or Board / CU Replacement.
- 3Describe the working environment in detail: 'occupied commercial office, 230V TN-C-S supply, adjacent to live switchgear'.
- 4Add the company name and generate.
- 5A competent person must review and adapt it before work starts. It is a draft, not an approved safe system of work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be used as an approved method statement?
Not as generated. A method statement forms part of a safe system of work, must be prepared or reviewed by a competent person who knows the site, and must be briefed to everyone working to it. This produces a structured draft.
What about the Live / Near-Live Working option?
Use it with particular care. Live working is prohibited in most jurisdictions unless it is unreasonable in all the circumstances to work dead, and it requires specific justification, suitable precautions and competent persons. Selecting the option does not make live work justified — that decision is made by a competent person and documented before any procedure is drafted.
Why does the working environment field matter?
Because it drives the hazards and controls. 'Board replacement' produces generic content; 'occupied commercial office, TN-C-S, adjacent to live switchgear' produces controls for public safety, arc flash proximity and supply arrangements — the things that actually apply on that job.
Does it cover permits and isolation?
It includes an isolation and permit-to-work section, and that must be reconciled with your own permit system and the actual installation. The Isolation Procedure Generator produces the detailed procedure that sits underneath it.
Are the regulation references reliable?
Verify them for your jurisdiction. Electrical safety law and wiring regulations differ by country and are amended regularly; generated citations are plausible rather than checked.
About Electrical Method Statement
The Electrical Method Statement generator produces a full method statement: scope, reference documents, competence requirements, personnel, calibrated test equipment and PPE, isolation and permit to work, a step-by-step sequence, quality control and testing, and emergency procedures including electric shock response.
The value is completeness of structure. Competence requirements, calibrated instrument lists and emergency response are the sections that get skipped under time pressure, and they are the ones an auditor or an investigation will look for.
The working environment field does the real work. An occupied building, a live adjacent panel or a particular earthing arrangement each change which controls matter, and a method statement that does not reflect them is a document rather than a control.
Two firm points. This is a draft, not an approved safe system of work — a competent person who knows the site must review, adapt and brief it. And selecting the live working option does not justify live working: that is a decision made and documented by a competent person beforehand, and in most jurisdictions it is only permissible where working dead is unreasonable.
