RAMS and methods
The method for the task, specific to this site.
This page is a guide to a CDM 2015 duty. It is not a screen in EHSync Projects, and the app does not do this part of the job for you.

The duty
CDM 2015
Where it is used
With the gang, before the task
What the duty asks for
- Risk assessment and method statement together. Hazards, controls, sequence, and the people.
- The method has to fit this site and this task. A generic pack is not enough.
- A change mid-job means a reviewed method, not a marked-up PDF.
Good practice
- Make it clear which version is the one in use.
- The people doing the work should see the method they were briefed on.
- EHSync Projects does not approve RAMS. The risk assessment and method statement forms sit in EHSync Safety.
