What are RAMS for Mechanical and Electrical?

RAMS, which stands for Risk Assessment Method Statement, originally focused on health and safety. However, it has now broadened its scope to include the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) assessments. Nowadays, many contractors use RAMS as a comprehensive health and safety package that subcontractors provide, ensuring a strong commitment to workplace safety.

As a key document, RAMS outlines the essential steps to safely carry out a specific task or activity. Its primary purpose is to identify potential hazards and highlight the necessary control measures to mitigate them. This strategic roadmap helps workers maintain a safe and compliant working environment.

Within the RAMS framework, Risk Assessments play a crucial role. They systematically identify potential workplace hazards, evaluate the probability and severity of associated risks, and determine which hazards require further control measures. This risk analysis is fundamental to effective safety management, as it helps prioritise actions based on their level of risk.

Method Statements complement these Risk Assessments by providing detailed safe working procedures essential for completing a task. These statements include step-by-step instructions designed to minimise the identified risks, ensuring that all team members know to perform their duties safely and efficiently.

Additionally, COSHH Assessments specifically focus on analysing the potential dangers of workplace hazardous substances. These assessments outline proper handling procedures, personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, and emergency measures in case of exposure. Together, these elements of RAMS create an integrated safety framework that emphasises risk management and fosters a culture of safety in all work activities.
