Used by construction contractors, subcontractors and site managers across the UK
🏗️ CDM 2015 compliant — every construction RAMS references the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, Work at Height Regulations 2005, and all relevant construction health and safety legislation. Ready to submit to your principal contractor.
Legal requirements for construction RAMS
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) require that all construction work is planned, managed and monitored to ensure workers are protected from harm. Regulation 13 requires principal contractors to ensure that construction work is carried out in accordance with a construction phase plan — and that plan must include risk assessments and method statements for all work activities.
A RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statement) is the standard document format used across the UK construction industry to demonstrate compliance with CDM 2015. It combines a risk assessment (identifying hazards and control measures) with a method statement (describing the sequence of work). Principal contractors will not permit work to commence without an approved RAMS.
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 apply to the majority of construction activities. Regulation 6 requires that work at height is properly planned, appropriately supervised, and carried out in a manner that is safe. Your construction RAMS must document how you will comply — whether working from scaffolding, mobile elevated work platforms, ladders or roofs.
Additional regulations apply depending on the construction activity: the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) for cement dust, solvents and diesel fumes; the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 for lifting blocks, bagged materials and equipment; the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) for plant and machinery; and the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 for breaking, drilling and cutting operations. Anyrisks RAMS reference all relevant regulations specific to your construction activity.
