I have seen numberous documents classified as a SSOW, but in fact are not actuall SSOW. Does anyone have any examples of suitable SSOW which i could use to help me create SSOW

A SSoW could come in many guises, you will have to be more specific in what you are after eg a method statement?

Im curious to know how you know that what you have seen aren't safe systems of work and in the same breath are asking for a copy or example of one so that you know what you're doing! Perhaps it's me being a grumpy old sod today!

Phil, the same thought crossed my mind...so you are not alone - GOS.

Pad,
What did you see or not see in the SSOW for you to form an opinion that they are not actually a SSOW ? Based on that assumption you in your own mind already have a thought process of what should be included,why not just apply what you thought is missing to the exsisting template that you have previously seen.

Phil & Ray,
My thoughts exactly.
GOS must be catching, should we inform the health authorities of the start of a possible epidemic?
Pad,
Having worked in a few different industries my SSOW have taken different formats and have been based on different levels of safety competence
e.g. in the rail industry every person working on or near the track has passed a personal track safety exam & assessment so they have a base level of knowledge, in the intermodal industry there is no equivalent base level so my SSOW would have to take into account a lower level of competence.
Take Care

Pad, sorry I was being a GOS, but you get the point?
SSOW have been discussed a number of times fairly recently. As far as I am aware, they are not defined in statute or case law, so arguably they can look like just about anything. What some people consider to a method statement, others may consider a SSOW and vice versa. They will vary by organisation, person completing them and by the nature of the work being undertaken. At their simplest they could be a verbal instruction (not recommended I suppose), a bulleted list or they can be a substantial piece of work.
Fletch, is being a GOS likely to be reportable under the proposed changes to RIDDOR? I hope not or I will have my work cut out :-)
