This document is designed to give contractors some guidance on Risk Assessments and Method
Statements (RAMS) and to help them understand Almarai requirements. This is basic guidance;
it does not tell you everything that you need to know. Also remember that it is your responsibility
to understand Almarai requirements and to meet them – if there is something you do not
understand, ask.
The Almarai Risk Assessment form is included. Contractors may use this form for risk
assessments for Almarai projects.
Mobilisation Plans
Mobilsation plans must be submitted to Almarai and agreed before work starts on site.
Method Statements
A method statement describes how that particular work is to be done and outlines the hazards that
could arise at each stage of the work.
Example:
“we will use a ladder” is not good enough;
“we will use a 2m ladder and will need to control the risk of the ladder user or the ladder
falling” would be better
The method statement should detail all the steps from start to finish in sequence and it must be
about that specific job.

ii) say who will carry out the work
7. an outline of the hazards at each stage of the work (with more detail in the risk
assessment).
Risk assessments
The purpose of risk assessments is for potential hazards and risk to be considered and evaluated,
and for appropriate controls to be decided before work starts – before any one is at risk. Good risk
assessments can help prevent accidents, injuries and delays.
1. be submitted at least 7 days in advance of the planned start of the work (to give Almarai
enough time to consider them),
4. be written with the most significant potential risks considered, not necessarily every single
potential risk,
6. show that the most effective controls have been considered and decided upon in line with
the recognized Hierarchy of Control. The controls proposed must be reasonable in the
opinion of Almarai’s Health and Safety Team.
7. be approved by Almarai before the work can start. Remember that RAMS that are
deficient can be rejected and this can lead to avoidable delays. Working without an
Almarai approved risk assessment (where one is required) is not acceptable.
The Almarai risk assessment form is attached. You may use it for risk assessments of work for
Almarai.

APPENDIX 1
ALMARAI HEALTH & SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT FORM
Step 1: Hazard - Activity/Workplace/Equipment/Event/Intelligence
Step 3: Possible consequences - what harm might occur where hazard could arise
Overall assessment
LOW (1-8) MEDIUM (9-12) HIGH (15+)
Step 6: Further recommended control measures (Medium to very high risks must be reduced to
lowest level so far as is reasonably practicable).
