Can SafetyCulture generate RAMS?
No. SafetyCulture is an inspection and audit platform — it creates checklists, captures photos, and manages workflows. It does not generate structured RAMS documents with risk assessments and method statements. For RAMS generation in the UK, you need a dedicated tool like Riskora.

What is SafetyCulture best for?
SafetyCulture excels at digital site inspections, quality audits, incident reporting, and mobile checklist management. It's best for organisations that need to digitise fieldwork across multiple sites and industries — not for generating construction safety documents.
How much does SafetyCulture cost in the UK?
SafetyCulture pricing starts from approximately £24 per user per month. Costs scale with team size, which means a team of 10 could pay £240+/mo. This compares to flat-rate tools like Riskora at £29/mo regardless of team size.

SafetyCulture pricing UK (2026)
SafetyCulture publishes USD pricing globally; UK customers are billed at the equivalent rate plus VAT. As of 2026, the live tier breakdown is:
- Free — up to 10 seats, 50 inspections/month, basic templates, limited storage. Workable for very small teams doing occasional checklist work.
- Premium — ~£19/user/month (advertised at $24/seat/month, billed annually). Unlimited inspections, custom templates, scheduling, integrations, analytics.
- Enterprise — quote-only. Adds SSO, advanced permissions, sensors/IoT, dedicated success management. Typically a 5-figure annual contract for mid-size deployments.
What this costs in practice: a 10-person team on Premium is ~£190/month (~£2,280/year). A 25-person team is ~£475/month (~£5,700/year). Per-user pricing scales linearly with headcount — there's no flat-rate option below Enterprise.
Versus Riskora: Riskora is £29/month flat regardless of team size. A 10-person team using Riskora pays ~£348/year vs ~£2,280/year on SafetyCulture Premium — a difference of about £1,930/year. The trade-off: SafetyCulture gives you a best-in-class mobile inspection app; Riskora gives you automated RAMS, risk assessment, method statement, site induction, toolbox talk and training-register generation. They solve different problems, and many teams run both. If you only need one of the two, pick the tool that matches your dominant workflow — daily site inspections (SafetyCulture) or pre-work safety documentation (Riskora).
Why Teams Choose Riskora
SafetyCulture is excellent at what it does — inspections, audits, and mobile fieldwork management. If that's what you need, it's a strong choice. But if you landed here searching for "SafetyCulture" because you need RAMS, risk assessments, or method statements — it's the wrong tool for that job. Riskora is purpose-built for UK construction document generation. Select your trade, pick hazards from a pre-loaded library, and get a finished RAMS in under 5 minutes. No inspections, no audit trails — just the documents you need. Some teams use both: SafetyCulture for daily site inspections and Riskora for pre-work safety documentation. They solve different problems.
All documents should be reviewed by a competent person before use on site.
