Safe Work Procedure and Method Statement Development

Many safe work procedures are copied from templates, ignored on the floor and only remembered after an incident. This course teaches practitioners to write clear, task-specific safe work procedures and method statements that people can actually follow. Delegates practise breaking a real task into steps, identifying the hazards at each step and specifying controls that fit the way work is done on African sites.
