Safe system of work templates
A sole trader or a small firm gets asked for "a method statement" for a job that does not need a three-page RAMS: fitting a kitchen, laying a patio, replacing a window, chasing walls. A safe system of work on one page — the hazards with the control beside each, the sequence, the kit, the stop rules and the signature — answers the question without pretending to be more. Where the job is bigger or the site is a managed one, the activity RAMS is the document, and the sheet says so.
20 documents, one price each. Helmet colours vary from site to site. This is a common convention, not a legal standard.
Written for this
20 one-page safe systems of work — the jobs a small firm gets asked for a method statement on.
Each sheet names the instrument that governs the task and the RAMS, permit or assessment it sits beside; the hazards are the ones on that job and the controls are actions.

Legal basis
What these documents are built on.
Printed on the forms themselves, so you and whoever reviews your submission are reading the same references. Law and guidance are kept apart, because they are not the same thing.

Guidance and standards relied on — not law
- HSG47 (3rd edition, 2014) as guidance
HSE guidance, British Standards and industry codes are not statute and carry no force in themselves — they are the standard the document is built to. And citing an instrument is not the same as satisfying it: what discharges the duty is a competent person in your business assessing this job and completing the document properly.
Our one rule
We will not tell you this makes you compliant.
No template can. HSE says it of its own examples: “Do not just copy an example and put your company name to it as that would not satisfy the law and would not protect your employees.” SSIP assessors want risk assessments written for a specific project within the last twelve months, and a generic document with your logo on it is unlikely to pass, whoever sold it to you.
What you are buying is the structure and the prompts — every section the law and HSE guidance expect the document to address, with the reference beside it. The judgement stays yours.
Why we don’t say “compliant”Before you buy
Will the main contractor accept it?
No template can promise that, and we won’t. It is written from the approving side of the desk, but your competent person adapts it to the job and signs it off. That step is what makes it yours.
Is VAT included in the price?
No. Prices are ex VAT; VAT is added at checkout.
What format is it?
A fillable PDF with a tooltip on every field. Or complete it online: type your site once and it downloads finished, with your logo on every page.
What happens when the law changes?
Every source is re-checked monthly. A change that matters raises a revision, and you get it free.
Is it a subscription?
No. Pay once. No subscription, no login, no expiry.
