What Riskora builds for this RAMS

Every section is built around your actual scope of work and the framework this page is about — not boilerplate. You confirm what applies to the site before you issue it.

PC-ready structure

The exact sections a UK principal contractor's checklist expects.

Site-specific hazards

Hazards tied to the actual scope in the pre-construction information.

Hierarchy of controls

Eliminate → substitute → engineering → admin → PPE.

Method sequence

Numbered steps, sequenced with other trades and permits.

Emergency + rescue

First aider, muster, nearest A&E and rescue plan for the task.

Sign-off + register

Competent person sign-off, crew briefed and signed on.

Example output

A site-ready RAMS, ready to review

See how Riskora shapes your brief into a RAMS designed for competent review — every section structured, with everything editable before issue.

Not a blank template

Not a template. Not loose AI prose. A structured RAMS.

Most 'RAMS template' downloads are blank docs you still have to fill in, and generic AI tools produce loose prose a competent reviewer will bin. Riskora produces a structured RAMS — with the sections the relevant framework expects — from a brief you can paste in under a minute.

Inside the document

What your RAMS actually contains

Riskora builds a structured, client-facing document — not a generic AI paragraph. Every section is shaped around your job, your site and your team.

  • Hazards

    Task-specific hazards for the job, captured row by row — not a generic list pulled from an old RAMS.

  • Controls

    Control measures mapped to each hazard with residual risk scoring after controls are applied.

  • PPE

    PPE requirements tied to the activity and site, ready to brief to the team.

  • Method steps

    Step-by-step method statement structured around how the work is actually sequenced on site.

  • Emergency arrangements

    First aid, rescue plan, emergency contacts and site-specific escalation routes.

  • COSHH prompts

    Substance prompts when the work involves chemicals, dusts, fumes or sealants — flagged early, not missed at review.

  • Sign-off

    Operative sign-off captured against the document — names, dates and acknowledgement of the brief.

  • Version history

    Every change tracked so you can show what was issued, when, and which version the team signed.

  • Approval status

    Clear approval state on every document — draft, in review, approved, issued — visible across the team.

  • Audit trail

    Who created it, who reviewed it, who signed it. A complete trail you can hand to a principal contractor or auditor.

Before & after

From copied-and-pasted to site-specific

The reason RAMS get rejected is rarely the format — it's that the document is obviously generic. Riskora rebuilds it around this job, this site and this task.

Before

Generic template copied from an old job.

  • • Hazards and controls that don't match this site or task.
  • • Method steps written for a different sequence of work.
  • • No emergency arrangements specific to the location.
  • • Client flags it as generic and asks for a rewrite.
After

Site-specific document structured around this job, site and task.

  • • Hazards captured from the actual scope you pasted in.
  • • Method steps sequenced for how the work runs on site.
  • • Emergency arrangements and rescue plan tied to the location.
  • • Approved internally, briefed to the team, signed off and stored.

FAQ

Questions for this exact situation

CDM 2015 requires each contractor to plan, manage and monitor construction work so it is carried out without risk to health and safety. In practice the principal contractor asks for a site-specific RAMS covering hazards, controls, method sequence, PPE, permits and emergency arrangements.

No tool can guarantee that decision. Riskora provides a CDM-aligned structure, but the hazards and controls must reflect the actual work, a competent person must review it, and the receiving contractor may require project-specific additions.

The RAMS structure supports F10 projects. The client / principal designer is responsible for the F10 notification itself.

Before mobilisation, whenever the scope changes, after an incident and at planned intervals through the project.

Riskora helps structure a site-specific safety document. It does not replace competent review, site supervision, client requirements or legal duties. Always check the final document before issue.
