Anyone have a set of generic motor vehicle garage RAMS I can adapt to save some time?

Good link Mr Flibble, if he hadn't posted I wouldn't have known of it.

But take the HSE RA's with a pinch of salt. There are many of us who think they do not always meet the suitable and sufficient test. They are a starting point and nothing more and sometimes the specifics can be a bit dubious.

It really is a sad indictment of the present state of UK's H&S system that the Regulator's published approach to assessing risk is recognised as being "not up to the job" by those subject to regulation.

I agree completely with Clairel's comments and I would suggest that RA's are kept as RA's and not mixed up with MS's so we have 2 separate areas as time and again I find confusion because such areas have been put together

I agree with Clairel and Bob. Take a look at the EU-OSHA definition of a risk assessment:-

“A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm.” - Taken from: “Good Practice Information" provided by EU-OSHA, September 2009.

In other words, the RA determines the risk and whether action is needed. Then Risk Management steps in and decides what action will be taken. You then need to repeat the RA to ensure that you have adequately controlled the risk.
