Inside a Riskora RAMS for film production

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

Task-specific hazards

Public interaction with the shoot, especially street locations · Drone / aerial work over crowds and cast · Rigging, crane, scaffold and Genie tower failure · Stunts and special effects (pyrotechnics, atmospheric, weapons) · Working at height for set build and lighting rig · Electrical — generators, distribution, water/wet conditions · Crew fatigue from long days and night shoots

Controls matched to each hazard

Risk-rated H&S monitor on set with stop-work authority · Rigging and crane to LOLER, lift plan + competent operators · Stunt and SFX work to coordinator's plan, signed off by H&S · Drone to CAA operator authorisation, exclusion zones for crowds · Public marshals, signage, permits and road closures as required · Generators bonded, RCD-protected, cable management to public · Crew working-hours and welfare per BFC code; rest breaks tracked

Likely PPE

Hi-vis for crew on roads / locations · Hard hat for rigging / set build · Safety boots · Ear protection near SFX or generators · Eye protection where flying debris possible · FR coverall for SFX practitioners

Permits & hold points

Location permit / film office consent · Road closure / traffic management plan · CAA drone operator authorisation · SFX / pyrotechnics permit · Hot work permit if welding rig

Emergency arrangements

Set medic / first aider on location · Stunt and SFX rescue plan with stand-by ambulance where required · Fire response on pyrotechnic / hot units · Crowd / public escalation route to street marshals · Production office emergency line + crew safety contact

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 Film Production template

Most "RAMS for film production" 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.
