Health & Safety (R.A.M.)
Prioritising Safety, Compliance, and Professional Standards in Every Project
At EcoBase Hydroseeding Ltd, safety isn’t a box we tick — it’s the foundation of every project we deliver.
We understand that our work often takes place on active development sites, public areas, and environmentally sensitive land. That’s why we apply a detailed Risk Assessment and Method Statement (R.A.M.) process before any hydroseeding or erosion-control operation begins.
Our commitment to safety protects not only our team but also our clients, the public, and the surrounding environment.
Our Health & Safety Commitment
EcoBase operates under strict compliance with current UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations and Environmental Agency guidance.
Every project is assessed, planned, and documented to ensure safe working conditions, controlled environmental impact, and full accountability.
We hold all necessary insurances, training certifications, and PPE standards required for professional site work in the UK.
Our R.A.M. Process
Each EcoBase project is guided by three core stages of compliance and preparation:
1. Site Risk Assessment
Before any application begins, our qualified team conducts a full inspection covering:
• Terrain and slope stability
• Soil composition and drainage
• Access routes and vehicle movement
• Proximity to public areas, roads, and water systems
• Potential hazards, including underground or overhead utilities
Findings are documented and reviewed to identify all risks, which are then controlled through detailed mitigation measures.
2. Method Statement
We outline exactly how our work will be carried out — clearly, safely, and in compliance with all UK laws and regulations.
This includes:
• Step-by-step operational procedure
• Site setup and containment plan
• Machinery and spray-equipment handling protocols
• PPE requirements for all operatives
• Safe storage and mixing of seed, mulch, and bonding agents
• Emergency response and spill management plan
This structured approach ensures that all works remain safe, traceable, and fully auditable under UK HSE guidance.
3. Environmental Protection
EcoBase uses only eco-friendly, biodegradable hydroseeding materials. We actively prevent water pollution, soil erosion, and damage to nearby habitats through:
• Controlled spray boundaries
• Run-off prevention and drainage monitoring
• Waste management and site clean-up procedures
• Compliance with Environmental Agency environmental protection standards
Every application supports sustainability and long-term land stability — aligning with both council and developer sustainability goals.
Working Safely Around the Public
When operating near residential areas, highways, or public green spaces, EcoBase enforces:
• Clearly marked exclusion zones
• Traffic and pedestrian management plans
• Noise-control measures
• Continuous supervision by trained site leads
This ensures that every project — from small lawns to large infrastructure developments — is handled with the same precision and responsibility.
