How to Use Method Statement Generator
- 1Describe the activity precisely — 'installation of 300mm diameter HDPE water main by open cut method in carriageway'.
- 2Pick the discipline: Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Oil & Gas / Pipeline, General Construction, Demolition, or Excavation & Earthworks.
- 3Describe the site conditions. This is the most important field: 'urban environment, live traffic, groundwater present, adjacent to 11kV cable' produces controls that address those hazards specifically.
- 4Add the company name and generate.
- 5Have a competent person review and adapt it for the actual site before any work proceeds. It is a draft, not an approved safe system of work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be used as an approved method statement on site?
Not as generated. A method statement is part of a safe system of work and has to be prepared or reviewed by a competent person who knows the site, then briefed to the operatives who will follow it. This produces a structured draft to work from — it does not make anything safe.
Why does the site conditions field matter so much?
Because the hazards and controls follow from it. 'Excavation' produces generic excavation controls. 'Excavation in live carriageway, groundwater present, adjacent to an 11kV cable' produces controls for traffic management, dewatering and buried services — which are the things that actually injure people on that job.
Are the hazards and control measures complete?
No. They cover the well-known hazards for the activity type, which is a useful starting register and a poor substitute for a site-specific assessment. The hazards that hurt people are usually the ones particular to that site on that day, and only someone who has been there can identify them.
Does it include emergency procedures and PPE?
Yes, both, along with environmental controls and a step-by-step sequence of works. Check the emergency arrangements against your actual site setup — muster points, first aid provision and rescue plans are site facts, not generic ones.
Will it reference the right regulations?
It references plausible ones, and regulations vary by jurisdiction. Verify every regulatory and standard reference for the country you are working in before the document is issued.
About Method Statement Generator
The Method Statement Generator produces a structured method statement — purpose and scope, reference documents, responsibilities, plant and materials, HSE requirements with PPE, hazards and controls, emergency procedures, a step-by-step sequence of works, and quality control.
The site conditions field does more than any other. A method statement for 'excavation' is a document nobody reads; one for 'excavation in a live carriageway with groundwater and an adjacent 11kV cable' addresses the three things that could actually kill someone on that job. Describe the site as it is, including the awkward parts.
What the tool provides is completeness of structure. The sections that get forgotten under time pressure — environmental controls, emergency arrangements, the interfaces with other trades — are prompted for by default, and that alone improves most drafts.
Be unambiguous about the limit: this is not an approved safe system of work. A competent person who knows the site must review it, adapt it to the actual conditions, and brief the operatives. The generic hazard list is a starting register; the hazards that injure people are the site-specific ones the tool cannot see. Verify regulatory references for your jurisdiction.
