Method Statement Software
What method statement software should do
Method statement software should make the planned sequence of work clear, reviewed and controlled. It should explain how the task will be carried out, which controls apply, who is responsible and what evidence is needed before and during the work.
Useful method statement sections
- Scope, location, trade, client and project details
- People, supervision, plant, equipment and materials
- Step-by-step sequence of work
- Links to hazards, controls, permits and COSHH records
- Emergency arrangements and stop-work expectations
- Review status, revision history and issue evidence
Reuse templates carefully
Templates save time, but method statements should still reflect the real job. Review access, sequence, plant, materials, interfaces with other trades, supervision and emergency arrangements before issue. If a template is reused without review, the document can look complete while missing the actual site conditions.
Software should make reuse controlled: copy the right baseline, require review, keep revision history and preserve the evidence of what was issued.
Keep method statements linked to risk
A method statement is weaker when it is detached from the risk assessment. Teams should be able to see the risk controls that support each sequence of work and the evidence that confirms workers were briefed.
