  What's your email addy and I'll send samples? I used to write these all the time in previous employment in environmental consultancy, every time we left the office it seemed!
  
  Hazard - Walking down the street and being hit by a bus
  Likelihood - Very likely to throw myself in front of a bus with this office job
  Risk - HIGH, MUST MITIGATE!!! SCORE MUST BE BELOW 6
  
  You get the idea :o)

  Hi Steve,
  
  The HSE website has simple examples of risk assessments and guidance which you may find helpful. (HSE.gov.uk)
  
  Re the request for a method statement, this is basically a written summary of how you would carry out the work taking account of any H&S risks and including any specific control measure you would need to use. You will probably also be asked for a copy of your Employer Liability Insurance (if you have any staff) and your Public Liability Insurance.
  
  In a previous life, I was an HSE Inspector so if you need any more help, give me a shout.

  Hi,
  
  Here's a link to the Arboricultural Associations generic method statement.
  
  http://www.trees.org.uk/downloads/2008_Generic_Method_statement.doc
  
  It may be worth a look at to give you inspiration and point you in the right direction.
