  • Programme starts Monday and half the subbie RAMS are still missing.
  • PC has rejected two subbie submissions as generic.
  • You need version control across a project instead of email chains.
  • New crew starting — you need a briefable summary today.

Inside a Riskora RAMS for project managers

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

Task-specific hazards

Subcontractor RAMS not site-specific · Overlapping activities with unmanaged interface risk · Missing rescue / emergency arrangements · Version drift between issued and briefed RAMS · Competence evidence not attached · Unbriefed operatives on site

Controls matched to each hazard

Central RAMS register per project · Structured review checklist (site, task, controls, rescue, sign-off) · Sequenced programme with interface risk called out · Version log + PDF re-issue on any change · Sign-on register captured before start · Competent-person review + PC issue trail

Likely PPE

Standard site PPE (helmet, hi-vis, boots) · Package-specific PPE per subbie RAMS

Permits & hold points

Package permits collated per activity · Hot works, height, isolation, excavation as required

Emergency arrangements

Project-wide emergency arrangements · Muster point + assembly · Named first aiders per package · Escalation matrix to PC + client

Method steps & sign-off

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

A site-ready RAMS for project managers

See how Riskora structures hazards, controls, PPE, permits and method steps into a single document specifically for project managers — edit anything before you issue it.

Not a blank template

Not a generic Project Managers template

Most "RAMS for project managers" 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.

FAQ

Questions for this exact situation

No — subcontractors still produce their own RAMS. Riskora gives you a structured way to collect, review and version them, plus a master pack you can brief from. You can also build any missing RAMS yourself if a subbie can't.

Riskora's review checklist calls out the usual tells — no site address, no named competent person, no rescue plan, controls that don't match the method. Reject with the checklist and the subbie fixes it in one round.

Yes — every change bumps the version and issues a fresh PDF with the change log. Old versions stay accessible for audit.

Yes — you brief the crew, they sign on against the current RAMS version, and the sign-on stays with the document for the project life.

Yes — your first project pack is free, no card.
