Method statement Description:

This chemical IBC loading method statement template from Health & Safety Zone is designed for ADR drivers, loaders, dangerous goods safety advisers and transport managers who need a clear, compliant safe system of work for loading, securing and carrying chemical IBCs and drums on goods vehicles.

It covers the main hazards of this work, including chemical splash and leakage from damaged or failing containers, falling or swinging loads while the lift truck works, load movement in transit, and fire or explosion from flammable chemicals.

Use this method statement for:

  • Depot and distribution centre loading of chemical IBCs and drums onto goods vehicles.
  • Drum and IBC collection runs where containers are loaded, secured and carried between sites.
  • Customer site deliveries where chemical containers are unloaded and checked for leaks.

The template sets out the introduction and legal framework, the training and competence required, a scope of works broken into stages, step-by-step planning for each stage, the personal protective equipment required and the finishing and post-operation checks, ready for your team to expand with site-specific detail.

Fully editable and shareable, it can be tailored to your site, branded with your company details and shared with your workforce for sign-off before work begins.
