RAMS Template

Main contractors want a RAMS before you set foot on site. Pick your trade and tasks, add the site details, and get a complete Risk Assessment and Method Statement written for the job.

In short

A RAMS (risk assessment and method statement) is a combined document that identifies the hazards of a specific job, the controls that reduce the risk, and the step-by-step safe method of work. UK law requires a suitable and sufficient risk assessment; main contractors usually require a RAMS before you start on site.

What it must include

  • ✓Scope of works, site address, dates and who is involved
  • ✓Hazards, who could be harmed and how
  • ✓Control measures and the risk rating before and after
  • ✓Sequence of works from preparation to completion
  • ✓Plant, tools, permits and PPE
  • ✓Competence, supervision and emergency arrangements
  • ✓Briefing and sign-off by the people doing the work
