GLOSSARY / Risk management

RAMS — risk assessments and method statements

A common construction abbreviation for the documents that assess task risks and describe how the work is intended to be carried out.

THE RRS GLOSSARY

Why it matters to a project

UXO advice should inform the relevant task arrangements where appropriate. Responsibilities, interfaces and review requirements need to be consistent across the project documents.

PROJECT EXAMPLE

A contractor updates the work method after specialist recommendations change the agreed support requirements.

A useful distinction

A UXO historical assessment does not replace all of the contractor’s task-specific documentation.
