eRAMS is a practical online service that allows contractors and maintenance teams to create, amend, store and print activity-based risk assessments, plus method statements and construction phase plans (CPPs). The easy to use eRAMS templates are based on extensive field testing, and input from leading contractors and key industry players on industry good practice.
eRAMS has been developed as a response to industry demand by ECA - and it's already proved to be helpful way beyond electrical or even building services contracting. Customer experience and feedback has shown that eRAMS is a real help to virtually any type of small to medium contractor that needs to ensure health and safety, across a wide range of tasks and activities.
Darren Price, Director of West Midlands-based contractor Goodwin and Price, said, "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." Using the eRAMS Quick Start guide, users can start to produce practical risk assessment information within minutes.
