A Method Statement is a formal, written document that details the step-by-step procedures, safety measures, and equipment to be used for a specific task, such as cable pulling. It is not just a plan, but a critical risk management tool. Its purpose is to clearly communicate how the work will be performed safely and efficiently, ensuring all team members, supervisors, and clients are aligned. For a cable installation, a method statement typically covers:

• Project Scope: What is being installed and where.

• Safety Procedures: A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) of all potential hazards and the control measures to mitigate them.

• Equipment: A list of all tools and machinery, from winches and rollers to PPE.

• Personnel: Roles and responsibilities of each team member.

• Emergency Plan: What to do in case of an accident or equipment failure.
