RAMS-06 Roofing and Work at Height on Flat Roofs - Risk Assessment and Method Statement, Worked Example (Word, UK, 2026)
A complete, paired risk assessment and method statement for Roofing and Work at Height on Flat Roofs, 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-06-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:
- Fall from the roof edge - south eave (no parapet) and west edge during set-up
- Fall through rooflight openings (six 1.2 x 1.2 m kerbs) and the AHU-2 deck opening
- Membrane and insulation in wind - sheets lifting, boards blown off the roof
- Hot-air welding of seams - fire in PIR / membrane; burns
- Crane loading of pallets to the roof - loads over the roof edge, pallets landing on the deck
- Solvent membrane cleaner and contact adhesive - vapour, skin, fire
And 4 more.
Method statement (RAMS-06-MS): scope, persons and competence, 7 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.
