Who this helps
Useful when
The position
RAMS means risk assessments and method statements. The risk assessment identifies what could cause harm and the controls needed; the method statement explains the planned sequence of work. SSRAMS means site-specific risk assessments and method statements in this service: both parts address the actual location, task and interfaces. Client terminology and document formats vary, so Pegasus confirms the requirement before writing or reviewing the pack.
A method linked to the actual sequence, hazards and controls
Visible interfaces, permits, hold points and responsible people
A document that can be checked, briefed and kept current
Scope
Every engagement is scoped around authority, operating context, available evidence and the decision that must be made.
Choose writing support when you need a new pack or the proposed work has materially changed. Pegasus develops the risk assessment and sequenced method from the task and site information supplied, with responsibilities, prerequisites and unresolved questions visible for review.
Choose a review when you already have RAMS or client comments. Pegasus checks whether the method, controls and site information align, identifies gaps and records the changes needed. The agreed scope states whether revised documents or review findings are required.
Start with the activity, site or general location, required review date and whether you need writing or review. Then identify the available drawings, existing RAMS, client comments, equipment, substances, access restrictions and site rules. Keep the first enquiry non-confidential; agree a suitable route for project documents.
Method
Decision points, responsibilities and verification stay visible from the start.
Confirm writing or review, work packages, required format, review date and the people responsible for acceptance.
Review the task and site information. Identify missing drawings, constraints or specialist input before assumptions enter the method.
Develop the agreed pack or assess existing RAMS. Link the work sequence, hazards, controls, responsibilities and hold points.
Work through the agreed review cycle. Record questions, required changes and the evidence needed to close outstanding items.
Provide the agreed documents and revision record for authorised review and site briefing. Confirm the process for material changes.

Questions answered
Yes. Pegasus offers your first RAMS or SSRAMS document free. We agree the job scope and information needed before starting. Site verification, authorised review and workforce briefing still apply. Client acceptance and delivery dates are not guaranteed; any additional work is agreed separately before it begins.
In site-safety work, SSRAMS means site-specific risk assessments and method statements. It describes the hazards, controls and work sequence for a particular site and activity. Some clients simply call this site-specific RAMS. Ask the requesting organisation which format, supporting information and review process it requires.
RAMS is the broader name for risk assessments and method statements; SSRAMS makes the site-specific requirement explicit. A useful pack still needs to match the actual work, even if its title says RAMS. Changing the site name on a generic document is not enough.
Do not assume so. BT Business uses SSRAMS for a site-specific assessment and report carried out by an Openreach surveyor in its delivery process. Where a network operator or client requires its own assessment, survey or acceptance route, confirm that requirement with them. Pegasus consultancy does not replace it by default.
Tell us what is available and what is missing. Pegasus can help define the information gaps and agree the next step, including whether a site visit or specialist input is needed. Unknown conditions must not be presented as verified facts, and safety-critical gaps need resolution before work proceeds.
Pegasus can develop, review or provide assurance within an agreed role. Client acceptance is not guaranteed. Formal approval, implementation and workforce briefing remain with the people authorised for those decisions. Appointing a consultant does not remove the employer's or contractor's responsibilities.
They depend on the activity, number of work packages, available information, site interfaces and whether writing, review or revisions are needed. Send the required review date and any client comments so scope, outputs and delivery arrangements can be agreed before work begins.
