From template headings to a useful record
What to put in your RAMS
A RAMS template gives you a structure. The value comes from describing the actual work and making the assessment, controls and working sequence consistent.
HSE — Risk assessment templates and examplesHazards and people affected
Describe hazards arising from the task and its setting, including risks to people beyond your own crew. Keep each entry relevant to something the team needs to manage on this job.
Controls and further actions
Distinguish agreed precautions from outstanding actions. Check that controls are available and suitable for the site, and make responsibility and timing clear for anything that still needs to be arranged.
The working method
Explain setup, the main activity and handover in a clear sequence, linking stages to the relevant precautions. Include dependencies and review points that affect how the team will carry out the job.
Resources and site arrangements
Record plant, tools, access, materials and PPE, with the arrangements needed to use them. Identify supporting information or permissions, and keep the resource list consistent with the working method.
Emergency details and review
Check local contacts and emergency arrangements, then identify who will review and communicate the document. Keep the issued record current when the scope or conditions change so the team uses the agreed method.
A blank template or a document built for you
Use the template in the way that suits your job
If you already know what you need to write, the blank RAMS PDF provides a starting structure. If the paperwork is holding up a client submission, the builder can produce a structured document from a short brief in minutes. You can inspect a real completed example on this page before deciding how to start.
Whichever route you choose, review the content for the actual task. A previous job’s controls, access arrangements or emergency contacts may not apply to the next site. Keep the risk assessment and method statement aligned so the precautions listed in one are reflected in the working sequence described in the other.
- Start with the real scope, location and people involved rather than changing the name on an old document.
- Confirm the client’s submission requirements and any site arrangements your method depends on.
- Remove irrelevant template content and explain the controls that the team can actually put into practice.
- Review the completed assessment and method together, then communicate the agreed version to the people doing the work.

A FEW THINGS, ANSWERED
RAMS template questions.
Practical answers before you start your first document.
Can I download a blank RAMS template?
Yes. Use “Download the blank RAMS PDF” on this page for the existing UK template. It gives you a starting structure to complete for your work. The generated-document option is separate: describe your job, review the preview and create a free account to save, edit and download your first document.
What is the difference between a template and generated RAMS?
The blank template provides headings for you to complete. The Riskora builder structures content around the job details you provide, giving you an assessment and method to review and refine. Both routes require you to confirm the site information and the practical precautions before use.
Can I use the example as RAMS for my own job?
Use it to understand the presentation and structure, not as a substitute for assessing your work. HSE advises against copying an example and simply changing the company name. Your hazards, people, controls and working arrangements must reflect your own site and task.
HSE — Risk assessment templates and examplesIs there one mandatory RAMS template for every UK job?
There is no single universal RAMS layout that establishes compliance for every activity. The required assessment and arrangements depend on the work and applicable duties, and clients may specify their own submission format. The important step is to check that the record adequately describes your job and its precautions.
HSE — Construction risk assessments and method statementsCan I change the generated document before downloading?
Yes. Sign up free to save and edit the document, then download the PDF. Check the scope, hazard entries, controls, method and local arrangements together. If a reviewer asks for changes, update the relevant content so the finished document remains consistent from the assessment through to the method.
