The Scaffold Risk Assessment And Method Statement (RAMS) is a mandatory safety document required under Canadian occupational health and safety legislation for any work involving scaffolding operations. This document serves as both a risk management tool and a procedural guide, essential for projects requiring temporary work platforms or access solutions. It must comply with federal regulations including the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (SOR/86-304) and provincial safety requirements, as well as relevant CSA Standards such as Z797-18 Code of Practice for Access Scaffold. The document is used to identify potential hazards, assess risks, establish control measures, and provide detailed methodology for safe scaffold operations, serving as a crucial reference for all stakeholders involved in scaffolding work.
