What a silica COSHH must cover
Every section is structured around the brief you paste — not boilerplate. You confirm what applies to the site before you send the risk assessment.
WEL + exposure duration
0.1 mg/m³ 8-hr TWA (EH40).
Hierarchy of controls
Elimination, on-tool water/extraction, RPE last.
Task-specific RPE
APF selection per activity + face-fit reference.
Health surveillance
Where exposure is significant + LEV testing.
Housekeeping + waste
No dry sweeping; damp/HEPA references.
Emergency + first aid
Eye and respiratory response.

Why a risk assessment template isn't enough today
A blank template still leaves every hazard, control, method step and emergency arrangement for you to write. Riskora structures a site-specific risk assessment around the brief you paste — the sections principal contractors and site managers actually expect.
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.
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.
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.
- • Approved internally, briefed to the team, signed off and stored.
