Rescue Plan – Risk Assessment – Method Statement Template

October 14th, 2009

Rescue Plan

From time to time we are asked if we can provide method statement templates. Unfortunately these have to be unique and created by yourselves as is applicable to your site, working conditions, equipment and operatives capabilities. It just isn’t possible to have a one size fits all generic method statement.

However we have tried to help by taking the frame work from the planning section of our (73 page) Red Rescue Book and created a guide template for rescue planning, this we hope will get your creative juices flowing. At worst if you use this template as is, it will be better than having nothing planned in the event of needing to carry out a rescue at height.
