Built for subcontractors and trades
For teams who need a RAMS that can be briefed on site, checked by a client and reviewed by the person responsible for the work.
Every page points back to the same RAMS standard
Templates, tools and builder reports are structured around the checks that make a RAMS specific, evidence-ready and usable by a site supervisor.
Site-specific
Actual site, work area, access, interfaces, site rules, public or occupants and emergency arrangements.
Evidence-ready
Permits, COSHH/SDS, competence, inspections, isolation records, briefings, sign-off and revision control.
Usable on site
A numbered method, risk ratings and controls a supervisor can brief before work starts.
Competent review
RamsDocs drafts the document; the competent person checks, revises and approves it before use.
Built around CDM 2015, HSE construction guidance and RamsDocs reviewed task knowledge. No guarantee of acceptance: each RAMS still needs competent review against the live site.
Draft fast. Review properly. Submit with evidence.
No blank Word file and no mystery output. See the draft, refine the site-specific details, check the gaps, then export when it is ready for review.
Choose your trade
Pick the work your team is doing. RamsDocs loads a trade-specific RAMS starting point with hazards, controls, PPE and method steps.
Configure it live
Confirm what applies to this job: working at height, hot works, occupied site, dust, chemicals, lifting, electrical isolation, access and interfaces.
Get it review-ready
RamsDocs flags missing safety-critical details and evidence prompts before you review, approve and download for principal-contractor review.
See the document first, then tighten the details
RamsDocs starts with a visible RAMS draft and asks for the details that change the controls: site constraints, access, permits, supervision, emergency arrangements and interfaces with others.
A specialist RAMS knowledge library, not a generic AI prompt
Drafts start from structured trade hazards, controls, PPE, plant, competence and method steps.
- 177 task templates across 11 categories
- Specific controls, not vague PPE-only statements
- Built around CDM 2015 and relevant HSE guidance

- COSHH trigger detected but substance controls missing
- Occupied premises selected but public segregation not included
- Site supervisor / competent person missing
- Emergency / rescue arrangements need confirmation
- Briefing, sign-off or review date missing

Method Statement & Risk Assessment
Scaffold Erection & Dismantling
Site: Unit 4, Brookfield Ind. Est. · CDM 2015
One vague section can turn a RAMS into a rework loop.
Legal exposure
Scales with turnover
Health and safety sentencing guidelines assess organisational fines by culpability, harm and company turnover.
Site access
No sign-off, no start
On principal-contractor-led sites, a returned RAMS can mean rework before the team can get on with the job.
Review risk
New site, new details
Reviewers spot copy-paste gaps: old client names, missing access details, vague controls and generic emergency plans.
