The ‘eRAMS' service has been released by CHAS, as part of an ECA/CHAS partnership that aims to support effective health and safety management in contracting and other organisations. The new service follows extensive consultation and field testing with hundreds of contracting companies and clients.
eRAMS provides customers with maximum flexibility when creating key health and safety documents, whether for internal use, or to meet the requirements of client or assessment schemes. The service is suitable for a wide range of contracting and maintenance activity.
According to Paul Reeve, ECA Director of Business Services eRAMS is designed to deliver fast, flexible activity-based risk assessments and method statements for all sorts of contracting and maintenance activity. It comes with a 'quick start guide' which allows users to start producing practically useful documents within minutes.
Darren Price, Director of West Midlands-based contractor and ECA member Goodwin and Price, added: “eRAMS is remarkably user-friendly, and a number of clients have told us that our risk assessments and method statements are some of the best that they have seen from a contractor.”
