What RAMS does a Carpentry Company Need?

A carpentry company primarily need to develop comprehensive Risk Assessments and Method Statements (commonly referred to as RAMS) to effectively identify, evaluate, and control hazards associated with specific carpentry tasks. These documents are essential for outlining the potential risks and the measures in place to mitigate them, ensuring a safer working environment.

Carpentry companies must also conduct COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) assessments for any hazardous substances they may use, such as adhesives, sealants, or dust from construction and woodwork. These assessments help ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to handle these substances safely, protecting both workers, the environment, and anyone affected by the work they carry out.

In addition to RAMS, carpentry companies must maintain Training and Induction Records to verify that all employees have received the necessary health and safety training specific to their roles. This ensures that team members are aware of safe work practices and are equipped to manage potential hazards.

An Accident Book is also essential, as it provides a formal record of any incidents or accidents that occur on site. This documentation is critical for not only tracking safety performance but also for complying with legal obligations and facilitating investigations into any incidents.

A Site Register is necessary for tracking both equipment and personnel on site. This allows for better management of resources, enhances accountability, and aids in the swift identification of individuals in case of emergencies.

Furthermore, maintaining detailed records of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage is crucial. This includes documenting the types of PPE issued to workers (such as hard hats, gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection) and ensuring that compliance with their usage is monitored and enforced on site.

Lastly, establishing a comprehensive Health and Safety Policy for the business is imperative. This policy should articulate the organisation's commitment to health and safety, outline the responsibilities of staff, and set clear procedures for reporting and managing risks and incidents. A strong health and safety policy lays the foundation for a culture of safety within the Carpentry business, contributing to the well-being of all employees.
