Risk Assessment + Method Statement, ready to print and send — with pre-written control measures for the common site hazards. Fill it in, tick what applies, press print.
Each comes with sensible control measures already written. You can edit them in the preview before printing.
One step per line. Start from the skeleton and adapt it to the job.
A RAMS must be specific to your task and site — review every line before you use it. This generator gives you a solid, editable starting point; it is not professional H&S advice.
A RAMS has two halves. The risk assessment lists the hazards of your task — working at height, live electricity, dust, manual handling — and the control measures that bring each risk down to an acceptable level. The method statement describes, step by step, how the work will actually be done. Main contractors read both before letting you start; the most common rejection reason is a generic document that clearly wasn't written for the task.
Keep it specific, brief it to your team, and get every operative to sign — the sign-off sheet is what proves the briefing happened.
The law requires a suitable and sufficient risk assessment — written down if you have 5+ employees. The combined RAMS format is the industry standard way to show it, and most sites won't let you start without one.
Someone competent who understands the task — usually the supervisor or owner doing the work. Specific to the job and site, briefed to the team, signed by everyone on the task.
Whenever the task, site, or team changes significantly — and after any incident or near miss. On long projects, review at sensible intervals regardless.
