Been asked to submit RAMS before starting your next building project?

Effortless health and safety planning starts with clear, consistent documentation. Our pre-filled, ready-to-use Builder RAMS Template is a complete Risk Assessment and Method Statement package, professionally structured to demonstrate how building works will be carried out safely. Designed specifically for builders, building contractors and small construction businesses, it gives you the documentation needed to outline hazards, control measures and safe systems of work in one clear, organised submission — ready to adapt and submit for approval by clients, site managers or main contractors.

Whether you're carrying out groundworks, structural work, building repairs, refurbishment works, extension works, or general construction activities in domestic or commercial premises, RAMS are often required by clients, principal contractors or commercial site managers before work can begin. They show that you have properly assessed the risks involved in your work and planned how those risks will be controlled. This template ensures both documents are aligned and presented consistently, helping you demonstrate a competent, organised and professional approach to site safety.

Both the risk assessment and method statement come pre-filled with content relevant to general building and construction works, providing a solid starting point that you can amend to reflect the scope, location and specific requirements of your project.

Supplied as downloadable, fully editable documents, this template saves time while helping you present clear, compliant documentation with confidence.

      RAMS FAQs

      How do I complete a RAMS document for my business?

      Completing a RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) document for your business is easy with our pre-filled templates. Each RAMS template includes a clear layout and structured sections that cover hazard identification, risk control measures, and step-by-step work procedures. Simply customise the pre-filled content to reflect your specific tasks, site conditions, and control measures. The templates are fully editable and come with guidance to help you produce a professional, compliant RAMS document quickly and confidently.

      What is a RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statement)?

      A RAMS document typically includes a detailed risk assessment identifying potential hazards and the measures to mitigate them, along with a method statement describing how the work should be carried out safely. It also includes details such as equipment to be used, qualifications or training required for personnel, and emergency procedures.

      Are your RAMS templates suitable for construction and trade work?

      Yes, our RAMS templates are specifically designed for construction and trade businesses. They cover common risks, safety measures, and method statements relevant to a wide range of on-site tasks. Whether you're working in building, electrical, plumbing, or decorating trades, the templates are adaptable to your project and meet key health and safety requirements. Customise them to reflect your job specifics and stay compliant while saving time and consultant costs.

      Who is responsible for preparing a RAMS?

      The responsibility usually lies with the project manager or the safety officer of the project. However, it can also be prepared by any competent person who has adequate knowledge about the work activities and associated risks.

      What's the difference between a RAMS and a standard Risk Assessment?

      A standard risk assessment focuses primarily on identifying hazards and determining risk levels, while a RAMS goes further by specifying the methods and procedures for safely conducting tasks to manage those risks effectively. RAMS is more comprehensive and action-oriented.

      When should a RAMS document be used?

      A RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statement) should be used in situations where work activities pose significant health and safety risks, particularly in industries like construction, engineering, and manufacturing. It is essential in the following scenarios:

      1. High-Risk Activities: For any work that involves high-risk tasks such as working at heights, using heavy machinery, handling hazardous substances, or working in confined spaces.
      2. New Projects: At the start of a new project or when a new phase of a project begins, ensuring that all safety measures are assessed and planned out before work commences.
      3. Change of Process or Equipment: Whenever there are changes in the process, materials, or equipment used in the workplace, which could introduce new hazards or alter the nature of existing risks.
      4. Following an Incident: After any accident, near-miss, or newly identified hazard in the workplace, a RAMS should be reviewed or created to address and control the associated risks.
      5. Legal Compliance: To comply with health and safety legislation that requires demonstration of due diligence in managing and mitigating risks associated with workplace activities.

      Utilising a RAMS in these circumstances helps to ensure that all potential risks are adequately controlled and that workers are aware of how to perform their tasks safely. This proactive approach is crucial for maintaining a safe work environment and for legal compliance.
