A RAMS document that does not reflect the actual site is a liability, not an asset. Before a risk assessment is written, the person producing it needs to understand the specific conditions, constraints, and hazards at the location. This checklist prompts you to gather the right information before a single line of the document is drafted.
The checklist covers the following site information:
Most RAMS failures during audits or HSE inspections come down to one thing: the document does not reflect what is actually happening on site. A template written at a desk, without input from the site, will almost always miss hazards that are obvious once you are standing in front of them.
Principal contractors and main contractors are increasingly rejecting RAMS that do not show evidence of site-specific assessment. This checklist creates the paper trail that demonstrates the work was done properly before the document was issued.
Complete the checklist during or immediately after a site visit, before the RAMS document is drafted. Pass the completed form to the person producing the risk assessment so they have the correct information to hand. Attach a copy to the final RAMS document as supporting evidence. Use the supervisor sign-off section to confirm the briefing took place.
If you are using the BuiltRight RAMS Engine, site information captured on this checklist maps directly into the site-specific sections of the document builder, reducing duplication and saving time on every new RAMS job.
It is a structured form used before producing a risk assessment and method statement. It captures site-specific details including access routes, welfare facilities, fire points, live services, and any hazards unique to that location. Without this information, a RAMS document is generic and may not reflect the actual conditions on site.
A RAMS document that does not reflect the actual site is legally and practically weak. HSE and principal contractors expect method statements to demonstrate that risks specific to the project have been identified and controlled. Site-specific information is the foundation for that.
