# RAMS review

Drop in a risk assessment and method statement and read, in minutes, where it is thin — before the main contractor's HSE manager reads it for you.

## In the office

Upload the RAMS as a PDF or a Word file. KASQ reads it and asks the twelve questions a reviewer asks — is the task specific (what, where, when); is supervision named; is the method a sequence, not a list; do the hazards match the task; do the controls follow the hierarchy rather than PPE first; is there a rescue plan for work at height; are substances covered by COSHH; do plant and equipment have inspection or certification; are emergency arrangements there (first aid, fire, escalation); is PPE specified for the task; are monitoring and review arranged; and how is the workforce briefed and signed on. Every finding quotes the passage it is about, so you can go straight to the line and fix it.

## On site

The corrected RAMS is what goes to the main contractor and what the supervisor briefs from. The review itself stays in the office.

## What it never does

KASQ does not decide whether the RAMS is acceptable — that is your judgement and your signature. This shortens the read; it does not replace the competent person doing it.

## What it counts

What one run counts against a plan's monthly questions is on [the tool's page](https://kasq.uk/tools/rams-review) and in the [tools overview](https://kasq.uk/docs/product/tools.md), both written from the same table as the [plans page](https://kasq.uk/plans).
