Question 1

What is a RAMS document?

Accepted Answer

RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement. It's a combined document used in UK construction and trades to identify hazards, assess risks, and describe safe working methods for a specific task or project. Most principal contractors require RAMS before work can begin on site.

Question 2

Do I legally need RAMS?

Accepted Answer

While there's no single law requiring a 'RAMS' document by name, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to carry out risk assessments, and CDM 2015 requires method statements for construction work. In practice, most sites and clients require RAMS as standard.
