What Are RAMS? RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement. In plain English, a risk assessment identifies the potential hazards involved in your commercial move — such as heavy lifting, narrow access points, working at height, or moving through shared areas — and sets out the precautions we take to manage each risk safely.
A method statement is a step-by-step description of how the work will be carried out — covering arrival procedures, equipment used, route through the building, handling of heavy or fragile items, waste disposal and completion checks. Together, a RAMS pack gives your facilities team or building manager a clear picture of how the move will be managed safely and professionally.
What a Move Risk Assessment Covers A move risk assessment for a commercial premises in Plymouth typically covers manual handling of heavy furniture and equipment, route assessment including stairs, lifts, corridors and doorways, vehicle access and loading bay arrangements, floor protection and building fabric protection, fire safety and emergency access during the move, and any specific site hazards identified during the survey.
Our risk assessments are practical and move-specific — they address the actual work being carried out at your premises, not generic health and safety templates. Each assessment is prepared after a site survey so it reflects the real conditions at your building.
When Does a Client Need RAMS or Risk Assessments? RAMS and risk assessments are typically required by managed commercial buildings, multi-tenant offices, business centres, schools, healthcare settings, public sector premises and any building with a facilities management team. The building manager or landlord usually requests these documents before allowing removals contractors to work on site.
If you are not sure whether your premises require RAMS, we will advise during the survey. Many Plymouth business centres and managed offices now require this documentation as standard. By providing it free as part of our quote, we remove the hassle and delay from the process.
