RAMS-15 Asbestos - Non-Licensed Work and Management - Risk Assessment and Method Statement, Worked Example (Word, UK, 2026)
A complete, paired risk assessment and method statement for Asbestos - Non-Licensed Work and Management, 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-15-RA): 10 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:
- Asbestos fibre release - breaking sheets, cutting fixings with power tools, dry sweeping debris, dropping sheets
- Falls - through the AC roof (fragile), from the ridge, from the MEWP
- Work becomes NNLW - degraded sheets found, breakage rate high
- Spread of contamination - debris on the ground, on the MEWPs, on clothing; waste handling
- MEWP - overturn on the yard, entrapment at the purlins, working through the roof opening
- Sheets as sails in wind; sheets slipping during lowering
And 4 more.
Method statement (RAMS-15-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.
