      RAMS FAQs

      How can I create RAMS for my business?

      Start by identifying the hazards associated with the work, who could be affected and the precautions needed to control the risks. You can then set out how the work will be organised and carried out safely, including responsibilities, working arrangements and the sequence of work.

      Our pre-filled RAMS templates combine a Risk Assessment and Method Statement that you can customise to reflect your business, project, site conditions and working methods, reducing the amount of documentation you need to create from scratch.

      When are RAMS needed?

      Employers must assess the risks arising from their work and put suitable measures in place to control them. If you employ five or more people, the significant findings of your Risk Assessment must be recorded.

      A Method Statement can be an effective way to plan and communicate how work will be carried out safely, particularly for higher-risk, complex or unusual activities. RAMS are also commonly requested by clients, contractors, principal contractors or site management.

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

      A Risk Assessment focuses on identifying hazards, assessing the risks and deciding what precautions are needed to protect people. RAMS combine this Risk Assessment with a Method Statement explaining how the work will be organised and carried out safely.

      If you only need to assess and record the risks, a Risk Assessment may be sufficient. Where you also need to clearly document the working method or sequence of work, RAMS provide both documents together.

      Who should prepare and review RAMS?

      RAMS should be prepared and reviewed by someone who understands the work being carried out, the hazards involved and the precautions needed to control the risks. Relevant workers should also understand the RAMS and the safe working arrangements they are expected to follow.

      RAMS should be reviewed before use and updated where necessary to reflect the actual job, site conditions, people involved, equipment, materials and working methods.

      Can I customise RAMS for a specific job or site?

      Yes. RAMS should reflect the work that will actually be carried out. Our pre-filled templates can be customised with your project details, hazards, control measures, responsibilities, equipment, site conditions and working methods.

      You should review the existing content, amend or remove anything that does not apply and add any relevant hazards or precautions that are specific to your work.

      Can I reuse RAMS for similar work?

      RAMS for similar work can often be reused as a basis, but they should be reviewed and tailored to each job before work begins. This does not necessarily mean starting again from scratch, as much of the existing information may still apply. Check for any differences in the site, people involved, equipment, materials, hazards, other contractors and working methods, then update the RAMS where needed so they accurately reflect the work being carried out.
