Inside the document

What Riskora rebuilds

Every section is regenerated around your actual brief and the rejection reason — not boilerplate. You confirm what applies to the site before you re-issue it.

Real hazards, not headings

Riskora fills the hazard section from your actual brief instead of leaving an empty table.

Controls, mapped

Collective controls first, PPE last, mapped to each hazard — not a bulleted list at the bottom.

Numbered method sequence

The template box replaced with actual steps in order, with responsible person and hold points.

Cover, register, sign-off

Site address, principal contractor, supervisor, briefing register and sign-off — all populated.

Emergency arrangements

Named first aider, nearest A&E, muster point and rescue plan — filled in, not left blank.

Reviewer-ready output

Downloadable in the sequence a UK principal contractor's H&S team expects to read.

Example output

A site-ready RAMS, rebuilt

See how Riskora shapes your brief into a RAMS your reviewer will accept — every section structured, edit anything before you re-issue.

Not a blank template

Fix the reasons RAMS get rejected

Generic 'RAMS template' downloads are blank docs. Loose AI prose won't survive a competent-person review. Riskora rebuilds a structured, site-specific RAMS — with the sections principal contractors and site managers actually expect — from a brief you can paste in under a minute.

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.
