You're probably here because…
  • Scope has landed and the principal contractor wants a method statement back.
  • Multi-package job — each package needs its own method section and hold point.
  • You've got the scope but no time to translate it into a method statement by hand.
  • Previous method statement was rejected for being a paragraph dump.
Examples of what to add
  • Tender scope or package breakdown
  • Contract scope of works document
  • Bill of quantities with method notes
  • Quoting notes that became the agreed scope
  • “Install containment and remove old ductwork”
  • “Client email asking for RAMS and COSHH”

What Riskora extracts from a scope of works

A scope is already structured. Riskora maps each part of it to the right section of the method statement.

Task

Each package becomes its own activity — named, sequenced and deliverable-tagged.

Sequenced method

Numbered steps in the order the work will run on site, with the responsible person per step.

Responsibilities

Supervisor, lead, banksman, first aider — assigned per step.

Plant & equipment

Plant on the job with inspection and certification requirements.

Hold points

Inspection and check points between packages — set up where the scope demands them.

Controls

Linked to the paired risk assessment — permits, exclusion zones, RPE, supervision.

Emergency arrangements

First aid, rescue, escalation contact and route — built around the task.

Sign-off requirements

Preparer, reviewer, approver and briefing register set up.

Scope stored against doc

The pasted scope is kept against the method statement for audit and provenance.

Example output

From a scope of works to a sequenced method statement

A multi-package scope becomes numbered method steps with hold points and a responsible person per step. Edit anything before issuing.

Not a blank template

Not a scope reformatted into prose

Generic AI tools turn a scope into a long-form rewrite. Riskora translates each package into a method step, responsibility and hold point — the document a competent person can sign off.

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.
How it works

From job details to signed-off document

A four-step workflow used by contractors, consultants and safety teams to turn informal job details into client-ready safety paperwork.

  1. 1
    Paste job details

    Drop in a client email, a WhatsApp from the site manager, a scope of works or a tender note. Anything that describes the job.

  2. 2
    Riskora structures the document

    Riskora turns your brief into hazards, controls, method steps, PPE, emergency arrangements and COSHH prompts.

  3. 3
    Review, edit and download

    You stay in control of every section. Tweak anything, then download a clean PDF or share a link.

  4. 4
    Brief the team and record sign-off

    Brief operatives, capture their sign-off and keep a full audit trail of who signed which version.
