1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Work Method Statement (WMS) is to establish and describe the sequence
of work to be followed by QDVC and its sub-contractors on the Project in order to anticipate
issues which could occur during the work execution. The objective is to guide all the involved
teams to perform their task in an organized manner, effective, efficiently, safely and while
maintaining the required work quality.
For this reason, it requires significant input data and information from several departments like
production, design, plant, logistic, method, temporary works, planning and the advice / review
from HSE department and quality department.
This document is the outcome of the Work Risk Assessment (WRA) and Work Method
preparation for the activity held during the Pre-Production Meeting with the above
departments and is necessary before carrying out any of its task on site.
The WMS & WRA are summarized on the Pre-Start Briefing (PSB) sheet to include the main
information for the site team regarding method, safety and quality.
This WMS, WRA & PSB sheet along with the Design & Method drawings, shall be presented
by the person in charge of the work (Engineer/Manager) to the site team (site
supervisor/foreman, QHSE officer, etc.) during the Pre-Task Meeting (PTM) prior to start any
new task (attendance shall be recorded on the PTM sheet).
Pre-Start Briefing (PSB) is delivered by the foreman to the workforce at the start of each shift
and if the site condition or the tasks change (attendance is also recorded through the PSB
sheet).
As they have to be implemented strictly on site, any change required in the WMS, WRA or
PSB is to be notified to the line manager and/or QHSE department. This will lead to the
temporary suspension of the works until a Change Method Request (CMR) is issued by the
production team and approved. Depending on the modification, it might require the issuance
of a new revision of this WMS and its attached documents.
2. SCOPE
This WMS describes –but not only– the following tasks:
The purpose of this work method statement (WMS) is to describe the methodology of Earthing
& Bonding and Lightning protection system for buildings located in Doha Air Base.
