The Slab Coring Method Statement is a critical operational document required for any project involving concrete cutting or coring activities in Australia. It serves as a comprehensive guide that ensures compliance with Work Health and Safety Act 2011, relevant Australian Standards (including AS 1012 and AS 3600-2018), and state-specific construction regulations. This document is essential for managing risks associated with structural integrity, worker safety, and environmental protection during coring operations. It details specific methodologies, equipment requirements, safety procedures, and quality control measures that must be implemented before, during, and after coring activities. The method statement is particularly important for projects where structural elements are being modified or where service penetrations are required through concrete slabs.
