Blank RAMS template
A blank RAMS template is the headings for one job. The hazard lines, the sequence, and the sign-off have to be written for this address.
Fill it for this address
Write the client, the address, and the people doing the work before you score a hazard. Leave a line blank rather than paste a control from a different task. The sheet below is the template. It is not a worked example from another trade.
No law requires a document called a RAMS. The duty is to assess risk under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, regulation 3, and to plan the work safely.
Library entries on RAMSPack are marked draft – awaiting competent review. The sheet on this page is blank until you fill it in. It is not HSE approved.
