What Riskora extracts from your client email
Every client email has the same signals — scope, deadline, deliverable, constraints. Riskora pulls them out and writes them into the method statement.
Task
The work being requested — install, strip-out, lift, commissioning.
Sequenced method
Numbered steps in the order the work will run on site.
Responsibilities
Supervisor, lead, banksman, first aider — who is responsible per step.
Plant & equipment
Plant on the job with inspection and certification requirements.
Materials & substances
Materials in use and any COSHH cross-references.
Hold points & checks
Inspection and check points between phases of work.
Emergency arrangements
First aid, rescue, escalation contact and route — built around the task.
Sign-off requirements
Preparer, reviewer, approver and briefing register set up.
Original email stored
The email is kept against the document for audit and provenance.
From a client email to a sequenced method statement
A scope email becomes numbered method steps with hold points, a responsible person per step and an emergency block. Edit anything before issuing.
Not 'paste email, get paragraphs'
Generic AI tools turn an email into prose. Riskora turns it into an operating plan — sequenced steps, responsibilities, hold points — the document a competent person can review and sign off.
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.

- • 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.
