Risk Management, RAMS & Task Controls

Controls built around the work, not copied from a template.

Hallam Safety Solutions develops and reviews task-specific risk assessments, method statements and working controls based on the activity, people, equipment and environment involved.

By engaging those who plan, supervise and carry out the work, HSS helps establish controls that can be understood, communicated and implemented in practice.

Task-Specific

Developed around the actual work and environment

Workforce-Informed

Built with input from those planning and completing the task

Critical-Control Focused

Attention directed toward controls that prevent serious outcomes

Briefing Ready

Clear arrangements that can be communicated and understood

The Client Challenge

A completed document does not make a task safe.

Generic RAMS often repeat standard hazards without properly considering the sequence of work, changing site conditions, equipment, interfaces or the people involved. This can produce lengthy documentation that satisfies an administrative requirement but provides limited value to the workforce. Hallam Safety Solutions focuses on understanding how the task will actually be carried out. The resulting controls are proportionate to the risk, clearly allocated and capable of being verified before and during the work.

What's Included

Safety documentation that actually gets used.

Hallam Safety Solutions develops risk assessments, method statements and task-level safety analyses that reflect the work being undertaken, the environment in which it will take place and the people involved. Each document sets out the relevant hazards, controls and working arrangements in a clear format that can be communicated, reviewed and applied on site.

Risk Assessments

A structured assessment of the hazards associated with your activities, the people who may be affected and the measures needed to reduce risk to an appropriate level.

Method Statements

A clear sequence for completing the work safely, setting out responsibilities, resources, controls and the agreed method of working.

Job Safety Analysis

A task-level review that breaks work into individual steps, identifies hazards at each stage and establishes the controls required before the task begins.

Unsure what documentation you require?

Discuss the task, project and client requirements to establish whether you need a risk assessment, method statement, job safety analysis or combined RAMS package

For Smaller Businesses

Professional RAMS support without unnecessary complexity.

Small contractors are frequently asked to provide RAMS before tendering for work or arriving on a client’s site. HSS can help translate your knowledge of the job into clear, professional documentation that reflects the task and satisfies proportionate client requirements. The process remains collaborative: you provide the technical knowledge of your work, while HSS helps structure the assessment, challenge assumptions and define appropriate controls.

The organisation planning and undertaking the work retains responsibility for ensuring that RAMS are accurate, suitable and implemented. Documents should be reviewed by those responsible for the activity and revised whenever the work or conditions materially change.
