Task-specific risk assessment
Hazards, people at risk, existing controls, residual risk rating and the additional controls needed for this site.

RAMS written for the site you are actually working on
Risk assessments and method statements that read like the job in front of you — not a template with your logo dropped on it. Written to pass principal contractor review first time.
RAMS is a risk assessment and method statement submitted together before construction work starts: the risk assessment sets out the hazards and controls, the method statement sets out the sequence of work. We write both as one site-specific document, using your real task, plant, access arrangements and client requirements.
What this includes
Step-by-step method statement
Sequence of work, access and egress, plant and equipment, exclusion zones, permits and who is responsible at each stage.
COSHH and specific assessments
Substance assessments, manual handling and work-at-height detail added where the task calls for it.
Review of documents you already have
We mark up your existing RAMS, tell you why they are being rejected and rewrite the sections that need it.
Why RAMS get rejected
Almost every rejection comes down to the same three things: the document is generic, the sequence does not match how the work will really be done, or the controls named are not achievable on that site. Reviewers spot a template immediately.
We start from your task and site — the access route, the plant, the neighbours, the client's site rules — so the document answers the questions a reviewer is going to ask before they ask them.
How it works
Send us the task description, the site address, drawings or a site plan if you have them, and any client-specific requirements or templates you have been told to use.
We write the document, send it for your review, and adjust it until you are happy. If the principal contractor comes back with comments after submission, we handle the amendments.
FAQs
Common questions
What are RAMS?
RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement. The risk assessment identifies the hazards of the task and the controls that reduce the risk; the method statement sets out, step by step, how the work will actually be carried out safely. On construction sites the two are normally submitted together as one document before work starts.
Are RAMS a legal requirement?
Risk assessment is a legal requirement under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and employers with five or more employees must record the significant findings. Method statements are not named in law, but principal contractors routinely require them under CDM 2015 arrangements before allowing work on site, so in practice you need both.
How long does it take to get RAMS written?
Send us the task, the site details and any client requirements and we will normally turn a document around within a few working days. Tell us your deadline when you enquire — if it is tight, we will confirm up front whether we can meet it rather than promise and miss it.
Can you amend RAMS that keep getting rejected?
Yes. Rejections are usually about missing site-specific detail, vague sequencing, or controls that do not match the actual work. Send us the document and the comments you received and we will rewrite it so it answers the reviewer's points directly.
Do you write RAMS for any trade?
We cover general construction, groundworks, fit-out, maintenance, work at height, lifting operations and plant work. If a task needs specialist input we do not hold, we will say so rather than write something we cannot stand behind.
