Understanding RAMS: The Backbone of Safety in Handyman Services

At Core Handyman Services, we believe that safety is the foundation upon which all great projects are built. Whether it's a small home repair or a comprehensive renovation, ensuring the wellbeing of everyone involved is our top priority. That's why we adhere to strict safety protocols through Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS).

What Are RAMS?

Risk Assessments

A Risk Assessment is a systematic process of evaluating potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking. It involves:

• Identifying Hazards: Pinpointing anything that could potentially cause harm.

• Assessing Risks: Determining the likelihood and consequences of those hazards.

• Implementing Controls: Establishing measures to eliminate or minimize risks.

Method Statements

A Method Statement is a document detailing how a particular task or activity will be carried out safely. It includes:

• Work Procedures: Step-by-step instructions on how tasks should be performed.

• Safety Measures: Specific precautions and equipment required to ensure safety.

• Responsibilities: Clear definitions of who is responsible for each aspect of the work.

Why Are RAMS Important in Handyman Services?

• You and Your Property: By identifying and mitigating risks, we prevent accidents that could cause damage or injury.
