Document background
The Slab Coring Method Statement is a critical operational document required for any construction or renovation project in Canada involving concrete cutting operations. This document ensures compliance with federal and provincial safety regulations while providing a standardized approach to concrete coring activities. It is typically required by building authorities and project stakeholders before commencing any coring work, particularly in structural elements. The method statement includes detailed procedures for identifying embedded services, structural considerations, safety protocols, and environmental controls. It serves as both a planning tool and a reference document for field operations, incorporating specific requirements from Canadian safety legislation, building codes, and industry best practices. The document is essential for risk management and quality assurance in construction projects involving concrete modification.
