RAMS review checklist
For the person who reviews RAMS before work starts — the questions that catch generic paperwork.
- Is it for THIS task on THIS site — names, dates, location, interfaces?
- Are the significant hazards of the actual method identified, not a generic list?
- Do controls follow the hierarchy — is PPE the last line, not the first?
- Is the method a sequence someone could actually follow, with hold points where needed?
- Are plant, equipment and competence requirements stated and checkable?
- Are interfaces addressed: other trades, the public, existing services, temporary works?
- Are emergency and rescue arrangements task-appropriate (height, confined space)?
- Is it briefed to the operatives with a record — and do they recognise the task in it?
- Is there a trigger for review: change of conditions, method, personnel or incident?
- Version control: is this the current revision, and are old copies off the site?
