Before we discuss when a construction phase plan is required, it is important that you have a brief understanding of the basics behind what a construction plan is.
A construction phase plan is an important document that details the health and safety risks associated with the construction phase of a project and any control measures required to minimise any risks.
This document is put in place to reduce (or eliminate) any risks associated with a construction project. It is designed to help principal contractors alongside others involved in projects to manage, plan and work safely. It is also a legal requirement for your project to have a thorough plan.
Thorough planning not only improves organisation but can significantly lower any health and safety risks, and help you manage the situation better in the event of a risk.
A construction phase plan is required on all construction projects, no matter their size. This is put in place to ensure your safety. For more information about when you need a construction phase plan and more, read on.
Before we discuss what RAMS documents are and why they are important, it is ideal that you have a brief understanding of what is involved in a risk assessment and method statement.
RAMS stands for Risk Assessment Method Statement and is an important document that has to be completed in line with the health and safety legislation to identify tasks that are to be carried out.
When you are reviewing health and safety in the workplace, you may come across RAMS documents. RAMS are often required for those working in the construction industry, and they are often included alongside health and safety policies.
Risk assessments are used by a wide range of organisations to recognise any potential hazards in the workplace, and assess the severity and likelihood of the risks happening. This is especially important for high-risk environments, such as the construction industry, to help reduce health and safety risks.
RAMS are available for any business that is looking to improve its overall health and safety and risk management. However, they are most popular in the construction industry because you are working day in and day out with dangerous tasks.
In this blog, we will be exploring what RAMS documents are and why businesses use them. For more information, read on!
Method statements are hugely important in the construction industry and can ensure that all tasks are completed safely and efficiently.

SSIP stands for Safety Schemes in Procurement and it is designed to streamline and standardise health and safety practices. The SSIP accreditation scheme enables companies to demonstrate that they work in a safe manner and in compliance with health and safety legislation.
