Document background
A Risk Assessment Method Statement is a critical safety document required in India for activities that pose significant workplace risks. It is mandated under various Indian safety regulations and must comply with both central and state-specific requirements. The document serves dual purposes: first, as a systematic evaluation of potential hazards and their control measures, and second, as a detailed methodology for safely executing work tasks. This document type is essential for high-risk industries and must be prepared before commencing any hazardous work activities. It typically requires regular updates and reviews to maintain relevance and effectiveness, particularly when work conditions or procedures change.
