In many areas of museum works and railway operation are attracting
increased scrutiny from regulatory authorities. There is no defence of being
amateurs, so it is important we follow guidelines that will be given by HoD’s. An
example is re-produced in its draft form, it describing a Scrap recovery day which has recently taken place.
Risks are identified then measures noted to reduce them,
below is an example of how one looks. I realise its small text; this is an
example to just show the format and how much thought is required to produce a
RAMS document.
Full sized text will
be readable if a RAMS document is circulated to you, or you may be referred to a
reference copy. An activity may start highlighted
as a Red or Yellow risk, but be reduced to a Green/safe operation
after mitigation by the procedure written. These will be issued by HoDs when
the need arises for new works, or reference to documents held in the Traffic
Office.
This RAMS described the work necessary to reduce an unsightly scrap pile in plain sight in the engineering field. All should be aware that our site should be improved visually. In the photo opportunity world of today, its best to keep our scrap orderly stacked, ideally out of sight, and for stored components in the set- down area which is more of a credit to the museum.
