RAMS Thame

RAMS Thame support from CUSTOM H&S SOLUTIONS LTD is designed for businesses that want documentation based on their actual work rather than a generic pack with the company name changed at the top.

Businesses in Thame often work across offices, customer premises, commercial units and project sites, so their health and safety arrangements may need to cover more than one working environment.

RAMS services in Thame

When a client, principal contractor or site manager asks for RAMS, they are usually looking for evidence that the hazards and safe sequence of work have been considered before the task begins.

RAMS bring together a Risk Assessment, which identifies hazards and controls, and a Method Statement, which explains how the work is intended to be carried out in a logical and safer sequence.

We support independent businesses, service companies, contractors, property specialists, facilities teams and employers with mobile staff in Thame and nearby Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire business areas. We focus on documentation that follows the way your team actually works, including businesses whose employees regularly move between different locations.

For work in Thame, the RAMS should make sense before the team arrives on site. Access restrictions, members of the public, client rules and the condition of the work area can all affect the method.

What we look at

The exact content depends on your activities, but the work may consider:

  • scope and description of the work
  • people involved and relevant responsibilities
  • site access and preparation of the work area
  • tools, plant, equipment and materials
  • identified hazards and control measures
  • personal protective equipment
  • manual handling and work at height where relevant
  • electrical, machinery or substance-related risks where applicable
  • protection of clients, visitors or members of the public
  • emergency arrangements and incident response
  • step-by-step method for completing the task

A team working at its own premises one day and at a customer's site the next can face different access, fire, substance, equipment and supervision risks. The paperwork needs to make those differences clear.

A clear Method Statement also gives supervisors a common sequence to brief, rather than relying on several people having slightly different ideas about how the task will be carried out.

How the service works

  1. You tell us what work is being carried out, where it will take place and what equipment or materials are involved.
  2. The main hazards and appropriate controls are set out in the Risk Assessment.
  3. The Method Statement describes the planned sequence of work and how the controls fit into that sequence.
  4. The completed RAMS can be used to brief workers and provide relevant documentation to the client or site management.

Documentation built around your workplace

We will explain what information we need before the work starts, so you know what is being prepared and why.

For a Thame business that needs a clearer health and safety system without spending weeks adapting templates, our team can prepare documentation around your actual activities.

We do not treat a document as a guarantee by itself. Effective health and safety management also depends on how procedures, training, supervision and control measures are implemented in practice.

Frequently asked questions about RAMS in Thame

Are RAMS the same for every project?

No. Similar jobs may share common hazards, but the site, access, equipment, materials, people and working conditions can change what needs to be addressed.

Can RAMS be prepared before a job starts?

That is normally when they are most useful. Planning the hazards, controls and work sequence before the team begins makes the document part of the preparation rather than an after-the-event exercise.

Do RAMS include both a Risk Assessment and Method Statement?

RAMS commonly bring those two elements together so the risks and the planned safe method of carrying out the work can be read as one coordinated set of information.
