Opus RAMS: Your shortcut to site-specific Risk Assessment Method Statements

Opus RAMS: Your shortcut to site-specific Risk Assessment Method Statements

Risk Assessment Method Statements (RAMS) are a critical part of safe working practices for any business undertaking construction or maintenance work. They set out the hazards involved in a work activity, the controls in place to manage those hazards, and the method of work to be followed.

Producing high-quality, site-specific RAMS can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, particularly for businesses that undertake a variety of different activities across multiple sites. Opus RAMS is our solution to this challenge – a streamlined, technology-driven service that helps you produce compliant, site-specific RAMS quickly and efficiently.

What is Opus RAMS?

Opus RAMS is a service provided by our health and safety consultants that combines our expertise with smart technology to produce site-specific RAMS for your business. The service includes:

• An initial consultation to understand your activities, sites, and specific requirements
• Production of site-specific RAMS by our experienced consultants
• Review and approval of RAMS by a qualified health and safety professional
• Storage of completed RAMS in your Opus Compliance Cloud account for easy access

Why site-specific RAMS matter

Generic RAMS – those that are not tailored to the specific site, activity, or team involved – are of limited value. They can fail to identify site-specific hazards, provide impractical controls, and may not meet the requirements of principal contractors or clients.

Site-specific RAMS, on the other hand, demonstrate that the risks have been properly assessed and that appropriate controls are in place. They provide clear guidance for the team carrying out the work and can help to prevent accidents and injuries.
