AMWS — Point of Work Risk Assessment (HS_FM_06)

Complete this at the start of the task, on site. It’s the operative’s check that the work in front of them matches the RAMS, the kit and the conditions on the day.

Submit once per day per task. If conditions change mid-day (weather, scope, people, hazard), do another one. It’s quicker than the consequence of skipping it.
