Method statements

Method statement software that starts from your tasks

Tick the tasks for the job and G8 ONE writes the sequence of work, including the pre-start checks, permits and close-out steps. Reorder it, edit it, add photos and issue it as part of your RAMS.

A sequence of work, not a wall of text

A good method statement explains how this job will be done, in the order it happens. G8 ONE builds that order from your tasks: arrival and sign-in, the briefing, the area checks, the task steps, and the clear-up and sign-out at the end.

Tasks that need a control step add it in the right place. Work at height adds an access equipment check. Electrical work adds safe isolation. Hot works add the permit and the fire watch. Digging adds the cable scan and trial holes.

  • Drag a step, or use the arrows, to reorder
  • Add a step between any two steps
  • Rebuild from the tasks if the scope changes
  • Photos on any step

What goes into each method statement

The method statement sits inside the RAMS, so the risk assessment and the sequence of work never drift apart.

Scope and sequence

What the job is and the steps in order, written in plain English for the people doing it.

Permits

Permits suggested from your tasks: hot works, work at height, electrical isolation, permit to dig, confined space and fire alarm isolation.

PPE

PPE from your tasks, such as hearing protection for noisy work or FFP3 masks for dust.

Emergency arrangements

Nearest A&E from the site postcode, first aid and the emergency contacts.

Team and competence

The people going to site, with their cards checked against the job dates.

Briefing record

Operatives confirm and sign on a phone, and each signature is kept against the version they read.

Free template or software?

If you only need one method statement, our free method statement template builds a PDF in your browser with no sign-up. Software pays off when you write them every week: duplicate last job's, keep one version history, send for sign-off and collect signatures without paper.

Questions

Is a method statement part of a RAMS?

Yes. In G8 ONE the method statement is built inside the RAMS, alongside the risk assessment, so they always match.

Can I write my own steps?

Yes. Every step is editable, you can add your own anywhere, and you can rebuild from the tasks if the scope changes.

Can I add photos or drawings?

You can add photos to any method step or hazard.

Can I reuse a method statement?

Duplicate any RAMS, change the site and dates, and edit what's different.
