What are RAMS?

A Risk Assessment (RA) identifies the potential risks and corresponding control measures for any site activity, whereas a Method Statement (MS) provides a step by step sequence of that activity to be completed in a safe manner.

Principal Contractors, Trade and Specialist Contractors and Self-Employed Contractors are required to provide Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) for their site activities. Clients of construction projects may also like to approve Risk Assessments and Method Statements.

Good Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) demonstrate that health and safety risks in the proposed site activities have been thoroughly thought and safe methods of work have been planned to manage the identified risks on site.

The availability of suitable and sufficient Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) for relevant site activities is an integral part of construction site health and safety requirements.
