Document background
The Contractor Method Statement is a mandatory document required under South African construction regulations, specifically the Construction Regulations 2014 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). It is used whenever a contractor needs to undertake construction work that requires detailed planning and risk assessment. The document serves multiple purposes: it demonstrates compliance with legal requirements, provides a clear methodology for work execution, outlines safety measures, and establishes accountability. A comprehensive Method Statement typically includes risk assessments, resource requirements, step-by-step procedures, emergency protocols, and environmental protection measures. It must be prepared before work commences and requires approval from relevant stakeholders, including the client and safety officers.
