Why is it so Important to Have Safe Work Method Statements for Working on a Construction Site?

  • Protect workers’ health and well-being. Construction workers are at risk of a variety of injuries, including falls, cuts, sprains, strains and respiratory problems. Safe work method statements identify and mitigate workplace specific risks and hazards, so workers can complete their tasks safely.
  • Improve productivity and efficiency. When workers are safe, they are more productive and efficient. They are also more likely to be motivated and engaged in their work.
