A method statement for inspection work outlines the steps, procedures, and safety precautions involved in carrying out

an inspection task. It
helps ensure that the work is performed efficiently, safely, and in compliance with relevant standards. Here's a sample method statement for
inspection work:

Method Statement for Inspection Work

1. Introduction: This method statement provides a detailed procedure for conducting inspection work to ensure that all activities are performed
correctly, safely, and in compliance with required standards. The inspection covers [specific task or area, e.g., electrical systems, machinery, etc.].

2. Scope of Work: The inspection involves the examination of [specific equipment, systems, or processes] to assess compliance with safety,
operational, and quality standards. This may include visual inspections, tests, measurements, and reporting.

3. Responsibilities:

 Inspection Team Leader: Responsible for overseeing the entire inspection process, ensuring the team follows the method statement and
complying with safety regulations.

 Inspection Team Members: Responsible for performing specific tasks such as visual checks, measurements, and tests as per the checklist
or inspection plan.

 Health and Safety Officer: Ensures all safety protocols are followed during the inspection.

4. Preparation:

 Review relevant documentation such as drawings, inspection checklists, manuals, and safety procedures.

 Ensure all required tools and equipment for the inspection are available and in good working condition (e.g., measuring instruments,
PPE, etc.).

 Verify the area to be inspected is safe to enter and that any hazards have been controlled (lockout/tagout procedures, if necessary).

5. Methodology: The inspection process will follow these steps:

 Step 1: Site Setup and Safety Briefing


o Conduct a safety briefing for all personnel involved in the inspection, covering potential hazards, emergency procedures, and the
use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

o Set up warning signs and barriers as needed to demarcate the inspection area.

 Step 2: Visual Inspection

o Inspect the equipment or area visually for signs of wear, corrosion, damage, or other issues.

o Document any visible defects or non-conformance to established standards.

 Step 3: Functional Testing (if applicable)

o Perform any required functional tests (e.g., testing mechanical movements, electrical functions, or other system operations).

o Record the results of these tests and note any failures or issues.

 Step 4: Measurement and Data Collection

o Use appropriate tools to take measurements (e.g., gauges, meters, thermometers, etc.).

o Compare measurements against specifications and tolerances.

 Step 5: Report Findings

o Document all findings, including any defects, non-compliance issues, or areas of concern.

o Suggest corrective actions if necessary, and recommend follow-up inspections or maintenance tasks.

6. Equipment and Tools: The following equipment will be required for the inspection:

 Measuring instruments (e.g., calipers, micrometers, voltage testers)

 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, hard hats, safety glasses, etc.

 Inspection checklist or plan


 Lockout/tagout devices (if needed)

7. Health and Safety Considerations:

 Ensure that all personnel are trained in the proper use of PPE and tools.

 Identify and mitigate potential hazards in the inspection area (e.g., electrical, mechanical, environmental).

 Follow emergency procedures in case of an accident or hazardous situation.

 Perform risk assessments and implement controls to minimize risks during the inspection.

8. Emergency Procedures: In case of an emergency:

 Evacuate the inspection area immediately if necessary.

 Contact emergency services and provide details of the incident.

 Administer first aid, if trained, until help arrives.

9. Documentation and Reporting:

 All inspection results, findings, and corrective actions will be documented in the inspection report.

 The report will be submitted to the relevant authority or project manager for further review.

 Maintain records of inspections for future reference and compliance verification.

10. Conclusion: At the end of the inspection, the team will conduct a debrief to discuss any issues encountered and ensure that all necessary
actions are taken to address the findings. The area will be cleared and made safe for continued operation.

This method statement should be tailored to fit the specific requirements and standards of the inspection being conducted.
