What to prepare for your construction RAMS
Use this checklist when gathering your job details. It summarises the HSA guidance linked below; check what applies to your work.
Site and task
Identify the location, work activity and people involved.
Hazards and controls
Assess the actual site conditions and the controls needed for the work.
Work sequence
Set out the method, equipment and any permits needed.
Training and PPE
Record the training and protective equipment needed for the task.
Emergency arrangements
Confirm first aid, emergency procedures and welfare arrangements.
Review and briefing
Agree responsibilities, review the plan before starting and brief the workers.
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.
Adapt the example to the actual job
A document from another project cannot establish that this job is safe. Check the method and controls against the site, involve the people doing the work and arrange the necessary review.
What your Safety Statement 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 Safety Statement.
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.
From copied-and-pasted to site-specific
The reason Safety Statement 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.
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.
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.
