Inside a Riskora RAMS for roof repairs
Every section is built around the actual task — not boilerplate. These are the task-specific items Riskora drops in by default for roof repairs, ready for you to refine and sign off.
Task-specific hazards
Fall from roof edge or eaves · Fragile rooflights, asbestos cement sheets, old skylights · Falling tools, slates or debris to people below · Slips on wet, mossy or sloping surfaces · Adverse weather — wind, rain, ice · Manual handling of tiles, membrane rolls, bitumen · Hot work where torch-on, soldering or lead burning is used
Controls matched to each hazard
Edge protection (scaffold, MEWP basket or proprietary edge rail) · Fall arrest harness with rated anchor where edge protection isn't reasonably practicable · Fragile-surface survey + crawl boards / load-spreading covers · Exclusion zone with hi-vis barriers, signage and banksman · Tool tethers + drop nets over public areas · Weather hold thresholds (wind speed, surface condition) · Hot-work permit + fire watch where heat used
Likely PPE
Hard hat with chin strap · Roofing-rated safety boots · Full body harness + shock-absorbing lanyard · Cut-resistant gloves · Hi-vis vest · Eye protection for cutting/grinding
Permits & hold points
Work at height authorisation · Hot work permit (torch-on / lead burning) · Roof access permit from building owner · Asbestos refurbishment/demolition survey check
Emergency arrangements
Written rescue-from-height plan with rescue lead named · MEWP or pre-rigged rescue kit on site · First aider on site and emergency contact list · Nearest A&E + grid reference for ambulance · Fire extinguishers and fire watch (hot work)

Not a generic Roof Repairs template
Most "RAMS for roof repairs" 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.
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.
