General Labour RAMS & Method Statement
General labourers support every trade on site, which is exactly why a Principal Contractor reads a general labour RAMS carefully. The controls need to cover manual handling, housekeeping, working alongside plant and moving vehicles, and the wide range of tasks a labourer is asked to help with across the working day.
