A combined Risk Assessment & Method Statement, the site-ready document a principal contractor or client asks for before you start.

What a compliant RAMS must contain
- A hazard table with a likelihood × severity score before and after controls
- Controls in the correct hierarchy (eliminate → substitute → engineering → admin → PPE last)
- A numbered, step-by-step method statement for the actual task
- PPE to BS EN standards, emergency arrangements, and an operative sign-off
Why a kitchen and bathroom fitter's RAMS gets rejected
- Residual risk dropped from high to low on PPE or 'competent operatives' alone
- Generic hazards that could apply to any job
- No method statement, or one too vague to follow on site
- The wrong legal basis cited (e.g. 'CDM 2015 requires a RAMS')
