Introduction
In today’s ever-evolving work environments, ensuring workplace safety is both a legal requirement and a fundamental responsibility for employers. A well-structured approach to health and safety can significantly reduce workplace incidents, improve operational efficiency, and safeguard employee well-being.
Our expert risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) services provide businesses with the tools necessary to identify hazards, implement control measures, and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
Why RAMS Matter
Risk assessments and method statements are vital components of workplace safety, particularly in high-risk industries such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and utilities. Without these essential documents, businesses may face increased risks, potential legal consequences, and reputational damage.
These documents are more than just paperwork—they are a proactive means of protecting workers and fulfilling your duty of care.

Understanding Risk Assessments and Their Role in Compliance
What Is the Process of Risk Assessment?
The process of risk assessment involves identifying potential hazards, assessing the risks they pose, and putting reasonable steps in place to reduce them. A competent person should lead the assessment, ensuring thorough evaluation and legal compliance.
This includes considering:
• The element of risk involved
• Who might suffer harm to workers or harm to employees
• How likely the incident is
• Whether the current controls are sufficient
• If further actions or contingency plans are needed
The risk assessment process is a structured approach used to identify, evaluate, and manage potential risks in the workplace (learn more).
