Risk Assessments & Method Statements (RAMS):

A Risk Assessment identifies hazards, decides how likely it is that someone could be harmed and outlines actions to eliminate the hazard or control the risk. Once a Risk Assessment is completed, a Method Statement is a step-by-step guide for the control measures put in place to reduce or remove each hazard.
