You're probably here because…
  • Outgrown spreadsheets and Word templates
  • Need every substance linked to the right project RAMS
  • Reviewers keep flagging missing exposure routes or PPE detail
  • A full EHS platform is overkill and overpriced
What to add to the box
  • Substance + SDS section 2/3 data
  • Activity, location and people exposed
  • Current controls and PPE in use
  • Project RAMS this substance is used under
  • A previous COSHH register to migrate over
Inside the document

What the software prompts for

Every section a reviewer expects in a defensible chemical risk assessment — built in, not optional.

Substance identity

Product, supplier, concentration and physical form.

SDS information

Reference to the current Safety Data Sheet and the key hazard data.

Hazard classification

Hazard statements and pictograms summarised against the activity.

Exposure routes

Inhalation, skin, eye, ingestion and injection — all prompted.

Hierarchy of control

Elimination, substitution, engineering, admin and PPE/RPE in order.

PPE & RPE selection

Specific PPE and RPE per substance, with type and standard.

Storage & segregation

Storage conditions, incompatibilities and quantity controls.

Spill & emergency

Spill response, first aid, fire-fighting and exposure response.

Example output

See what the software produces

A clean, substance-led PDF with SDS reference, exposure routes, hierarchy of control and PPE/RPE captured per substance. Linked to the project RAMS so the chemical detail and task controls reference the same data.

Not a blank template

Not generic EHS forms. Not a blank template.

Generic EHS tools treat COSHH as just another form. Templates are layouts you still have to remember every prompt for. Riskora is purpose-built chemical risk assessment software — substance-led, SDS-aware and RAMS-aware end to end.

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.
How it works

From job details to signed-off document

A four-step workflow used by contractors, consultants and safety teams to turn informal job details into client-ready safety paperwork.

  1. 1
    Paste job details

    Drop in a client email, a WhatsApp from the site manager, a scope of works or a tender note. Anything that describes the job.

  2. 2
    Riskora structures the document

    Riskora turns your brief into hazards, controls, method steps, PPE, emergency arrangements and COSHH prompts.

  3. 3
    Review, edit and download

    You stay in control of every section. Tweak anything, then download a clean PDF or share a link.

  4. 4
    Brief the team and record sign-off

    Brief operatives, capture their sign-off and keep a full audit trail of who signed which version.

FAQ

Questions for this exact situation

COSHH assessment software is a tool that helps you build, store and update Control of Substances Hazardous to Health assessments. Riskora structures each assessment around the substance — SDS data, exposure routes, controls, PPE/RPE and emergency arrangements — and downloads a reviewable PDF.

A template is a layout — you still have to remember every prompt yourself. Riskora is a guided workflow: substance, SDS, exposure routes, controls, PPE/RPE, storage, spill response, waste and review are prompted in the right order, with the hierarchy of control applied.

Yes. Each COSHH assessment can be attached to a project RAMS so reviewers see the substance-led detail behind the task-level controls — no more duplicate chemical lists across documents.

Yes. Riskora is built for contractors, consultants and small EHS teams that need defensible COSHH assessments without paying for a full enterprise platform. Start on a free account.

No. Riskora structures the content and prompts for the right inputs. A competent person must still confirm the SDS is current, the controls are suitable and the assessment reflects the actual conditions of use.

Yes. Every assessment downloads as a polished PDF that can be shared with principal contractors and clients, or attached to a wider RAMS pack.

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.
