Risk assessments & method statements

Site-specific RAMS services across Northern Ireland

Clear risk assessments and method statements prepared around the actual task, site conditions, plant, people and project requirements.

Project-specific RAMS

Documents that reflect how the job will actually be carried out

MacSafety Solutions provides RAMS services for principal contractors, subcontractors, specialist trades and small-to-medium businesses working across Northern Ireland.

We start with the scope and planned sequence, then consider the people, equipment, substances, access arrangements, surrounding activities and site rules that affect the work. The result is a focused document that can support review, coordination and briefing.

We do not fill gaps with invented detail. Where the method, design information or site arrangements still need confirmed, those points are identified so the appropriate person can provide the answer.

What the service covers

A clear route from scope to usable RAMS

01 / Scope

Work activity and boundaries

The document defines the activity, location, planned sequence and limits of the work, including relevant interfaces with the client, principal contractor and other trades.

02 / Risk

Hazards and proportionate controls

Hazards are considered in the context of the task. Controls are organised so that supervisors and operatives can understand what must be in place before and during the work.

03 / Resources

People, plant and materials

Competence, supervision, tools, plant, substances, PPE and access equipment are recorded where relevant to the planned method.

04 / Site

Local rules and interfaces

Permits, emergency arrangements, services, neighbouring operations, environmental controls and project standards are incorporated from the information supplied.

Information normally needed for a RAMS quotation

A clear initial brief helps us confirm the scope, fee and realistic turnaround. Useful information includes:

  • The project or workplace location and the principal contractor or client.
  • A detailed description of the work and the intended sequence.
  • Drawings, specifications, surveys and available site information.
  • Plant, tools, access equipment and substances to be used.
  • Expected workforce, supervision and competence requirements.
  • Site rules, permit arrangements, restrictions and known interfaces.
  • The required template, review date and document-control details.

Review and revision

RAMS should be reviewed when the work method, design, plant, people, site conditions or surrounding activities change. The quotation will explain the agreed revision allowance so expectations are clear from the outset.

Already have a draft?We can review existing RAMS against the current scope and identify material gaps, unclear controls or information that still needs confirmed.
