The Site Specific Risk Assessment And Method Statement is a mandatory document under South African health and safety legislation, essential for any work involving significant safety risks or construction activities. It must be prepared before commencing work at any site where hazardous activities will take place, as required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act and associated regulations. This document combines a detailed risk assessment identifying potential hazards and their control measures with a comprehensive method statement outlining safe work procedures. It serves as both a planning tool and a legal record, demonstrating due diligence in safety management and compliance with South African safety regulations. The document must be site-specific, regularly reviewed, and updated to reflect changing conditions or work methods, making it a living document throughout the project lifecycle.
