Document background
The Risk Assessment And Method Statement (RAMS) is a crucial document required for high-risk or complex work activities in Malaysia, mandated under the framework of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 and related DOSH regulations. It serves dual purposes: first, as a systematic analysis of potential hazards and their control measures, and second, as a detailed procedural guide for safe work execution. The document is essential for activities where careful planning and risk mitigation are necessary to ensure worker safety and regulatory compliance. RAMS must be prepared before work commencement and requires regular review and updates to reflect changing site conditions or work methods. It forms a key part of Malaysia's workplace safety documentation requirements and must be available for inspection by relevant authorities.
