Can SafetyCulture create RAMS?
No. SafetyCulture (formerly iAuditor) creates inspection checklists and audit reports, not structured RAMS documents. If you need RAMS, risk assessments, or method statements for UK construction, you need a dedicated document generator like Riskora, which produces these in under 5 minutes.
