RAMS-07 Cladding and Curtain Walling Installation - Risk Assessment and Method Statement, Worked Example (Word, UK, 2026)
A complete, paired risk assessment and method statement for Cladding and Curtain Walling Installation, written as a full worked example on a real-looking UK project, the way a principal contractor's reviewer expects to receive it.
Not a blank form. Every hazard row and every step of the sequence is filled in for a named task, with plant, quantities, named roles and the hold points a reviewer looks for. You edit the specifics for your job; the structure, the control hierarchy and the standards table are already right.
Risk assessment (RAMS-07-RA): 11 hazards, each with who is at risk and how, existing controls, likelihood and severity on a 5 × 5 matrix before and after additional controls, the hierarchy of control from MHSWR Schedule 1, PPE beyond site minimum, emergency arrangements and a review record. Hazards covered include:
- Fall from height - fitters on the scaffold with ties or guard rails removed for panel fixing; MEWP basket; floor edge inside the building at the curtain wall
- Panel handling - 62 kg panels on the vacuum beam in wind; vacuum failure; panel striking the scaffold or MEWP
- Glass handling - 118 kg units on the MEWP glass lifter; glass breakage
- MEWP overturn, entrapment, catapult - working off the piling platform edge, near the steel and the scaffold
- Telehandler - overturn with the beam extended, striking pedestrians, forks under the scaffold
- Falling objects - fixings, flashings, offcuts, tools from the scaffold and MEWPs
And 5 more.
Method statement (RAMS-07-MS): scope, persons and competence, 6 items of plant with their inspection requirements, materials and hazardous substances, permits and hold points (5), a 14-step sequence of work with hazards, controls and the check or ITP line for each step, emergency arrangements specific to the task, supervision and stop-work triggers, and the briefing and sign-on record.
