This timber decking installation method statement template from Health & Safety Zone is designed for landscapers, carpenters, garden builders and site supervisors who need a clear, compliant safe system of work for installing timber and composite decking in gardens.
It covers the main hazards of decking work, including striking buried services when digging or driving posts and ground screws, manual handling of timber and boards, wood dust and preservative when cutting and treating timber, hand-arm vibration and noise from power tools, and falls at steps and edges.

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. It does not cover raised decks that need structural design or garden buildings, which need their own method statements.
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.
