Machine Method Statement Template
A method statement built around a specific machine. It links to the relevant risk assessments and safety guidance and records the PPE, supervision and competence needed, the pre-start checks and the safe operating method, so anyone using the machine works to the same safe procedure.
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 require work equipment to be used safely by trained, competent people. This machine method statement gives you a written safe operating procedure that supports the operational control requirements of ISO 45001.
Built for ISO 45001 and Safe Use of Work Equipment
The form supports the operational control requirements of ISO 45001 (clause 8.1) and PUWER:
- A link to the relevant risk assessments and safety guidance for the machine
- PPE and safety equipment, supervision and competence requirements
- The pre-start checks to be completed before the machine is used
- The safe operating method for the machine
What's Included in this Machine Method Statement
The form is set out around one machine so the safe procedure is clear and repeatable:
- Header - the machine, prepared by, date and method statement number
- Related documents - relevant risk assessments and safety guidance for the machine
- Requirements - PPE and safety equipment, supervision and competence requirements
- Pre-start checks - what to verify before the machine is started
- Safe operation - the safe operating method for the machine
Who Needs a Machine Method Statement?
Any organisation operating machinery or powered work equipment - manufacturing, engineering, workshops, warehousing and processing. It suits businesses that want a consistent safe operating procedure per machine and any organisation working towards or maintaining ISO 45001 certification.
Pairs with the Method Statement Range
For a task rather than a machine use the F-HS24 Method Statement - Task, for multi-stage work the full F-HS23 Method Statement, and for a combined assessment and method the F-HS29 Risk Assessment / Method Statement.
