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.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
