Method statement Description:

This highway pothole repair method statement template from Health & Safety Zone is designed for highway maintenance operatives, supervisors and contractors who need a clear, compliant safe system of work for repairing potholes and patching carriageways by hand in the live highway.

It covers the main hazards of the work, including live traffic passing the works area, hot material, manual handling, noise and vibration from cutting and compaction tools, and dust and fumes from cutting out and laying.

Use this method statement for:

  • Pothole repairs on carriageways under a lane closure.
  • Hand-laid patching of failed or damaged areas of road surface.
  • Planned and reactive repairs carried out for highway authorities and their contractors.

The template sets out the introduction and legislation, training and competence, scope of works broken into stages, step-by-step planning for each stage, the personal protective equipment required and the finishing 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.
