Construction Safety Service Overview
Our construction safety service provides two essential types of documentation:
- I. Safety Statements
- A legal requirement under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. These outline your company’s approach to risk management, site safety, and employee welfare.
- II. Method Statements
- Detailed, task-specific documents explaining step by step how higher-risk construction activities should be carried out safely on site.
All documents are written by our experienced health and safety advisors who understand the unique challenges of the construction industry. We ensure your documentation is not only legally compliant but also practical, clear and user friendly.

Why Safety Statements matter
A Safety Statement is a cornerstone of workplace safety compliance in Ireland. It shows regulators, clients and your workforce that your business takes construction site safety seriously.
At SafeHands, our Safety Statements for construction are:
- Customised to reflect your specific operations, workforce and projects
- Based on thorough risk assessments including site‑specific hazards and control measures
- Structured for clarity, outlining roles, responsibilities and procedures
- Legally compliant and aligned with Irish health and safety legislation
Regularly reviewing and updating your Safety Statement helps your business stay in line with changing site conditions, staff turnover or new legislation, supporting an ongoing culture of safety.
Who benefits from Construction Safety documentation?
Our professionally prepared Safety Statements and Method Statements are invaluable for a wide range of construction professionals, including:
- Main contractors and subcontractors delivering large or small projects

With tailored documentation, every team member - from site operatives to senior management - can understand their responsibilities and work safely.
The value of Method Statements in Construction
Method statements for construction are critical when carrying out higher-risk activities such as demolition, structural steel erection, excavation, working at height or operating heavy machinery. This also applies to work carried out by plumbers, carpenters, electricians carpet fitters, window cleaners etc.
