Clear, practical documents that keep your people safe and your business compliant. impact HR helps employers prepare risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) that reflect real-world activities—ensuring you meet legal duties, satisfy client requirements and reduce workplace risks.

Keeping people safe, protecting your business

Why risk assessments & method statements matter

RAMS are a legal requirement and a key tool for protecting employees and contractors. Yet many businesses struggle with:

  • Generic or outdated documents that don’t reflect actual tasks
  • Lack of inhouse expertise to identify hazards and control measures
  • Client and tender demands for credible RAMS evidence
  • Employees disengaged because documents feel overly technical
  • Uncertainty over when and how often to review risk assessments

impact HR provides clear, tailored RAMS that are proportionate to your activities, easy to understand and aligned with both legislation and client expectations.

  • Our approach

    We make RAMS straightforward and effective:

    1. Task & Activity Analysis – We review your operations, equipment and working environment to identify hazards and risks.
    2. Tailored Documentation – Risk assessments and method statements written specifically for your activities, not off-the-shelf templates.
    3. Employee Engagement – Simple, accessible documents that employees can understand and apply in practice.
    4. Client & Tender Support – RAMS prepared to meet client prequalification and contractual requirements.
    5. Training & Briefings – Toolbox talks and workshops to embed understanding and safe behaviours.
    6. Review & Update – Ongoing support to keep documents relevant as activities, legislation or client needs change.
