You're probably here because…
  • FM contract requires RAMS per task or per visit.
  • Multiple trades on one PPM round — need one RAMS that covers it.
  • Occupied building — public protection has to be documented.
  • Last RAMS rejected for not naming the permit system.

Inside a Riskora RAMS for facilities maintenance

Every section is built around the actual task — not boilerplate. These are the task-specific items Riskora drops in by default for facilities maintenance, ready for you to refine and sign off.

Task-specific hazards

Public / building occupants in the work area · Electrical isolation in live buildings · Working at height on plant rooms or roof · Hot work and fire detection isolation · Slip / trip from temporary leads, hoses, tools · Manual handling of plant items, filters, lamps · Lone working out of hours

Controls matched to each hazard

Permit-to-work system aligned to FM client (electrical, hot, roof, CS, isolation) · Sign in / induction / contractor logbook · Public protection — signage, barriers, escort where needed · Safe isolation (HSG85) for any electrical work · Working at height controls per the WAH hierarchy · Lone working procedure with check-in intervals · Reinstatement test and permit close-out before leaving

Likely PPE

Standard kit: helmet, hi-vis, boots, gloves, eye pro · Task-specific: FR / arc-rated / harness / RPE per RA · Smart casual cover where in occupied client areas

Permits & hold points

Electrical permit / isolation permit · Hot work permit · Roof / height access permit · Confined space permit (where applicable) · Detector isolation permit

Emergency arrangements

Building emergency procedure followed (alarm / assembly) · FM helpdesk + out-of-hours contact · First aid post location identified · Spill / fire response kit on the work face · Lone-worker check-in escalation

Method steps & sign-off

Numbered method sequence with responsible person, briefing register, and competent reviewer sign-off before work starts.

Not a blank template

Not a generic Facilities Maintenance template

Most "RAMS for facilities maintenance" templates online are blank docs you still have to fill in, or AI prose with no structure. Riskora reads your brief and writes the right sections — hazards, controls, PPE, permits, method steps, emergency arrangements and sign-off — built for the actual task on the actual site.

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.

Lone-worker check-in intervals, escalation contact, and a documented stop point if check-in is missed.
