Build RAMS + risk assessments for care homes and healthcare sites. CQC, HSE, RIDDOR aligned — resident-aware controls and infection prevention.
Frequently asked questions
- Do care homes need RAMS from contractors?
- Yes — under CQC and HSE expectations, care homes must receive site-specific RAMS from contractors before any works impact residents, and coordinate the works so residents remain safe.
- What's different about healthcare RAMS?
- Healthcare RAMS must consider residents, patients and staff — infection prevention, mobility and cognitive impairment, PEEPs, aggression risk and lone working.
- Does this cover CQC inspection expectations?
- The RAMS structure supports the safety documentation CQC inspectors typically ask to see when contractors are working on site.
- Can care staff sign this off?
- The competent person for the works signs off the RAMS; the registered manager (or nominated deputy) accepts it on behalf of the home.
