Frequently asked questions
- Are railway RAMS different from construction RAMS?
- Yes, significantly. Railway RAMS must address the rail safe system of work (possessions, line blocks, lookout protection), OLE and electrification hazards, PTS competence requirements, and Network Rail standards — in addition to standard construction risks. A construction RAMS alone is not sufficient for railway work.
- Who approves railway RAMS?
- Railway RAMS are typically reviewed and approved by the principal contractor and/or the Network Rail project manager. They must demonstrate compliance with Network Rail standards and the rail safe system of work before any access to the railway is permitted.
- Can I use Riskora for railway construction?
- Yes. Riskora includes presets for railway work covering PTS requirements, COSS arrangements, OLE proximity, possession working, and the interface between rail operations and construction activity. Select your rail work type and generate a structured RAMS.
- What about working in possessions?
- Riskora's method statements can include possession arrangements, including the type of possession, planned duration, limits of work, handback procedures, and the safe system of work for all personnel during the possession.
