Gary’s Safety Tips

What’s up my friends, today we’re going to talk about safe work method statements and the common issues you need to look out for. As an entrepreneur, I’ve seen my fair share of workplace accidents, and trust me, they’re not pretty. That’s why it’s crucial to have a solid safe work method statement in place to ensure the safety of your team and your business.

First and foremost, let’s talk about what a safe work method statement is. In a nutshell, it’s a document that outlines the potential hazards of a specific job or task, and the steps that need to be taken to mitigate those hazards. It’s a crucial part of any workplace safety programme, and it’s a legal requirement in many countries.

Now, let’s talk about the common issues you need to look out for when creating a safe work method statement. The first issue is the lack of detail. When it comes to safety, there’s no such thing as too much information. Your safe work method statement needs to be as detailed as possible, outlining every step of the job or task, and the potential hazards at each stage. Don’t assume that your workers know what they’re doing. Spell it out for them, and make sure they fully understand the risks involved.

The second issue is the lack of consultation. When creating a safe work method statement, it’s crucial to involve your workers in the process. They’re the ones who are going to be doing the job, so they know best what the potential hazards are and how to mitigate them. By consulting with your workers, you can ensure that your safe work method statement is accurate and effective.

The third issue is the lack of training. Simply having a safe work method statement in place isn’t enough. You also need to make sure that your workers are trained on how to follow it. This includes both new workers and existing workers who may not have been involved in the creation of the safe work method statement. Make sure that everyone is fully trained on the hazards of the job or task, and the steps they need to take to stay safe.

The fourth issue is the lack of supervision. Even if your workers are fully trained on the safe work method statement, accidents can still happen. That’s why it’s crucial to have supervisors in place who can monitor the job or task and ensure that everyone is following the safe work method statement. If something doesn’t look right, speak up and address it immediately.

The fifth and final issue is the lack of review. A safe work method statement isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it document. It needs to be reviewed regularly to ensure that it’s still effective and up-to-date. This includes reviewing it after any workplace accidents or near misses, as well as reviewing it on a regular basis to ensure that it’s still relevant.

In conclusion, a safe work method statement is a crucial part of any workplace safety programme, and it’s important to get it right. Make sure that your safe work method statement is detailed, consult with your workers, provide training, supervise the job or task, and review it regularly. By doing so, you’ll ensure that your team stays safe, and your business stays strong. Thanks for tuning in, my friends, and I’ll catch you on the next one.
