RAMS-11 Ductwork and AHU Installation - Risk Assessment and Method Statement, Worked Example (Word, UK, 2026)
A complete, paired risk assessment and method statement for Ductwork and AHU 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-11-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:
- Falls - towers in the voids, MEWP at 6.5 m, riser openings, roof edge and openings at AHU-2 (the scaffold is gone - struck 7-9 Sep)
- AHU-2 sections (1.9 t / 1.3 t) moving on skates on the roof plinth - section tipping, crushing hands and feet, plinth edge
- Lifting duct sections, attenuators and fans to high level - chain blocks on the steel, genie lifts
- Sharp sheet-metal edges - lacerations to hands and forearms
- Manual handling - sections to 35 kg overhead, repetitive drop-rod fixing
- Fixings into the deck and steel - cables in the void, overloading the deck ribs
And 5 more.
Method statement (RAMS-11-MS): scope, persons and competence, 7 items of plant with their inspection requirements, materials and hazardous substances, permits and hold points (5), a 15-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.
