RAMS Questions.
Straight Answers.

RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement. A Risk Assessment identifies the hazards on your job and the controls you will put in place. A Method Statement describes how the work will be carried out safely, step by step.

Principal contractors typically require both documents before allowing a subcontractor to start work on site.

If your job falls under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), you have a legal duty to manage health and safety risks on site. A risk assessment is required under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 for any employer or self-employed person working in construction.

In practice, your principal contractor will require a completed RAMS document before you begin work — without it, you will not get on site.

A method statement describes exactly how a task will be carried out, in sequence — including the roles and responsibilities of each member of the team. It accompanies the risk assessment to give your principal contractor confidence that the work is properly planned.

Some PCs require a method statement for all subcontractors; others only require one for higher-risk activities. If you are unsure, check with your PC before ordering — or contact us and we will advise.

Every document is reviewed and signed off by a qualified, experienced safety professional. You are not receiving a template or generic output. A real professional checks your document against the specific activities, hazards, and controls described in your intake form.

Our safety professional holds a BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering and CertIOSH — the Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health awarded by IOSH (the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health). They have direct hands-on experience in UK construction and groundworks.

That is the whole point. Documents are produced to the standard expected by principal contractors on UK construction sites — not boilerplate, not a generic template. A real document built for your specific job.

If your PC rejects a document we have produced for reasons within our original scope, we will fix it at no extra charge.

Documents are delivered as PDF, ready to submit to your principal contractor. If you need an editable version — for example, to add your own company details — let us know when you order and we will discuss options.

One round of revisions is included in the price, provided the revision is within the original scope of work. Revisions outside the original scope — for example, if the activities on site change after delivery — may be charged separately.

We cover a wide range of trades and construction activities, including groundworks, drainage, excavation, civil engineering, demolition, brickwork, roofing, joinery, plumbing, electrical work, painting and decorating, and more.

If you are unsure whether we cover your specific activity, contact us before ordering.

Our Simple Risk Assessment (from £195) is for 1–5 person jobs — groundworkers, drainage crews, and sole traders carrying out straightforward activities. It is the most common document requested by principal contractors.

Our Detailed Risk Assessment (from £395) is for larger crews or specialist activities. It includes competency requirements, detailed legislation references, and a principal contractor interface section.

Yes. Sole traders are some of our most common clients. If you are a one-person groundworks or drainage contractor working for a principal contractor, a risk assessment is typically required before you start. We produce documents specifically suited to sole-trader operations — no inflated crew sizes, no unnecessary complexity.

If your work is entirely domestic and CDM domestic client exemptions apply, a formal RAMS document may not be legally required. However, many domestic subcontractors use risk assessments as a matter of good practice and insurance compliance.

We can produce documents for domestic work — contact us to discuss your situation.

Yes. Our Rejection Rescue service (from £445) is specifically for this situation. Send us your rejected document and the rejection notes from your PC. We will fix it, sign it off, and return it to you fast.

Yes. Our Review & Fix service (from £245) covers exactly this. Send us your existing document and we will correct it, bring it up to the required standard, sign it off, and return it ready for submission.
