A RAMS document is a combination of two essential pieces of health and safety documentation:

1️⃣ Risk Assessment – identifies hazards, evaluates risks, and outlines the control measures needed to reduce or eliminate harm.
2️⃣ Method Statement – describes step-by-step how a task or activity will be carried out safely, including equipment used, site rules, PPE requirements, and emergency procedures.

Most principal contractors, construction sites, and commercial clients require RAMS before work begins.
A well-written RAMS ensures your team understands the safe working method and demonstrates to clients that you operate professionally and legally.

Yes. Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every employer — and self-employed contractor — must carry out a “suitable and sufficient” risk assessment for activities that could cause harm.

You are legally required to:

• Identify hazards

• Evaluate risk levels

• Implement appropriate control measures

• Communicate findings to staff

• Review and update assessments regularly

If you have five or more employees, your risk assessments must be written down.
Even if you have fewer workers, written risk assessments are strongly recommended, especially for high-risk activities or client audits.

Absolutely. We specialise in creating task-specific, site-specific, and client-ready RAMS.
Every document is tailored to:

• The exact job or activity you’re carrying out

• The equipment and materials you use

• The environment you’re working in (e.g., construction site, warehouse, domestic property, factory floor)

• The requirements of your principal contractor or client

• Relevant HSE guidance and industry best practice

We do not use generic templates.
All RAMS are written by experienced health and safety consultants to ensure accuracy, compliance, and professionalism.

Our standard turnaround time is 1–3 working days, depending on the complexity of the job.
For last-minute work or urgent client requests, we also offer:

⏱ Same-Day Express Service
⏱ 48-Hour Priority Service

This ensures you never miss a deadline, induction, or contract opportunity due to incomplete safety documentation.

• SSIP

• CHAS

• SafeContractor

• Constructionline

Yes, we offer a full RAMS review and improvement service.
We will:

• Assess whether your current risk assessments are “suitable and sufficient”

• Check for missing hazards or inadequate control measures

• Ensure your method statements reflect safe working practices

• Identify any outdated references to legislation or standards

• Suggest practical improvements and update the documents for you

This service is ideal for businesses preparing for a client audit, SSIP renewal, or returning contractors requesting updated RAMS.

Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) should be reviewed:

• Annually as standard

• After an accident, incident, or near miss

• When new equipment, processes, or chemicals are introduced

• When staff roles change

• When working environments change

• When a client or principal contractor requires an update

Regular updates ensure your documents stay legally compliant and reflect current working practices.

Yes. Even if you're a sole trader, you must comply with HSE legislation, and most clients — especially in construction — will not allow you on site without RAMS.
Professional, clear documentation helps you win work, reduce risk, and show clients you take safety seriously.
