RAMS and method statements for UK construction
A risk assessment and method statement, or RAMS, sets out the hazards of a task, the controls that make it safe, and the order the work is done in. The strongest RAMS are task-specific, written for the actual job rather than a generic template. These guides cover the high-risk activities that are read most carefully by a principal contractor, with the hazards, controls and sequence a reviewer expects for each.
RAMS for Scaffolding
Erection, ties, foundations, inspection and handover for scaffold work.
RAMS for Working at Height
The hierarchy of control, edge protection and access for work at height.
RAMS for Excavation and Groundworks
Collapse, buried services, water and safe access for digging work.
RAMS for Roofing
Edge protection, fragile surfaces, access and weather for roof work.
RAMS for Demolition
Asbestos survey, structural sequence, services and exclusion zones.
RAMS for Asbestos Work
The survey, the work categories, when a licensed contractor is required, and the controls.
RAMS for Hot Works
The permit, fire watch, combustibles and gas controls for hot work.
RAMS for Confined Spaces
Avoiding entry, atmosphere testing, the permit and emergency rescue.
RAMS for Electrical Work
Safe isolation, dead working, competence and testing.
RAMS for Lifting Operations
The lift plan, the roles, the ground, the equipment and the sequence.
