When you read press-cuttings about construction accidents, often the risk assessment was either wholly absent or woefully inadequate. The three main problems encountered with RAMS are generic risk assessments, inadequate risk controls and a failure to implement risk controls.
It is essential that anyone working in the construction industry has a clear understanding of what RAMS are, and how they should be implemented.
When effective RAMS don’t just provide guidance on steps to follow, they are also designed to detail how to ensure implementation occurs effectively.
RAMS formalise risk assessment and management processes, and are often part of the core of an organisation’s health and safety policy. Effective application of RAMS is vital to protecting the health and safety of workers on construction projects.
This course helps to provide an understanding of why RAMS are necessary in the construction industry, and how to ensure they are used effectively.
This RAMS course trains individuals in developing, implementing and managing risk assessment method statements (RAMS) effectively. It covers key areas such as the importance of RAMS in construction, their role at different project stages, what causes RAMS to fail and practical steps for safety improvements.
All Human Focus training is exclusively online, so you can complete this course using your smartphone, tablet or computer.
Yes. This course is approved by IIRSM (the International Institute of Risk & Safety Management).
RAMS stands for risk assessment method statements. These documents detail hazards and specify how risks will be managed during specific tasks or activities. RAMS documents are considered best practice for the construction industry.
RAMS documents are more in-depth than risk assessments and offer step-by-step instructions for completing work activities in the safest way possible. This level of detail helps workers complete tasks safely and efficiently without extensive experience. RAMS documents also conclusively prove compliance with health and safety regulations.
No. RAMS are not a legal requirement. However, RAMS documents are considered industry best practice and ensure employees and contractors know how to complete tasks without injury or incident. Clients may also request RAMS before a project can begin.
This course develops awareness of RAMS documents and their use in construction. Completing and following risk assessment method statements is one of the most effective ways to improve site safety and ensure work is finished without incident.
Employers, supervisors or other duty holders responsible for site safety should know how to complete RAMS documents. Frontline workers also need to understand how RAMS are used. This course develops awareness of the content and application of RAMS, as well as practical tips for safer working.
