This highway ironwork 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 raising and lowering manhole covers, gratings and frames to new levels in the live highway.
It covers the main hazards of the work, including live traffic beside the work area, striking buried services when breaking out, hand-arm vibration and noise from breakers and saws, dust and cement-based materials and manual handling of covers, frames and materials.

The template sets out the introduction and legal framework, the training and competence required, a scope of works broken into stages from setting up traffic management to reopening the road, 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. Traffic management itself is covered by its own traffic management drawing and plan.
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.
