About Rams Risk Assessments
A rams risk assessment is a systematic process of identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing control measures for rams work activities. Under UK health and safety law, employers and self-employed workers must assess risks to health and safety arising from their work.
The HSE 5-step approach involves: (1) identifying hazards, (2) deciding who might be harmed and how, (3) evaluating risks and deciding on precautions, (4) recording findings, and (5) reviewing and updating as necessary. Our AI-powered generator follows this methodology to create professional assessments in that format.
Whether you're a sole trader, small business, or larger contractor, documented risk assessments protect both workers and businesses. They demonstrate compliance with health and safety law and provide evidence of due diligence in case of incidents.
