RAMS-19 Highway and Street Works - Temporary Traffic Management - Risk Assessment and Method Statement, Worked Example (Word, UK, 2026)
A complete, paired risk assessment and method statement for Highway and Street Works - Temporary Traffic 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-19-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:
- Struck by passing traffic - operatives in the carriageway, setting out and removing signs, working at the taper, drivers ignoring the signals
- Pit collapse - 2.6 m deep in road make-up over clay, traffic vibration and surcharge
- Striking services in the highway - gas main (150 mm MP, indicated 0.8 m), BT ducts, street-lighting cable, water main
- Pedestrians - business park staff, cyclists, the footway on the north side; visually impaired users
- Signal failure, long queues to the Northgate Road junction, driver frustration and abuse
- Working hours and peaks - permit condition 09:30-15:30 for excavation
And 4 more.
Method statement (RAMS-19-MS): scope, persons and competence, 5 items of plant with their inspection requirements, materials and hazardous substances, permits and hold points (6), 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.
