Turn a site manager message into RAMS

Site managers write short. 'Lift in Tuesday', 'second fix on Block C', 'scaff coming down Friday'. Riskora reads the actual instruction and structures it into a RAMS with hazards, controls, method steps and a sign-off block. 100+ industries supported.

Site manager messages are dense — every word is a signal. Riskora pulls the signals out and writes them into the document the contractor needs to see.

You're probably here because…
  • Site manager's WhatsApp says the job's on Tuesday and you've got no paperwork.
  • The instruction is three lines long but the job needs a full RAMS.
  • You want to reply 'RAMS attached', not 'I'll send it tomorrow'.
  • The contractor has asked for documents before the lift slot.
Examples of what to add
  • “Lifting steels south elevation Tuesday AM, banksman needed”
  • “Second fix Block C, lone worker, weekend access”
  • “Scaff coming down Friday — confirm method”
  • “Site induction at 7am — bring RAMS”
  • “Install containment and remove old ductwork”

Inside the document

What Riskora extracts from a site manager message

Short messages carry the most signal per word. Riskora pulls each one out and writes it into the right section of the document.

Task

The actual instruction — lift, install, strip, second fix, survey.

Location / context

Block, elevation, access route, time slot or day.

Hazards

Inferred from task and site context — lifting, lone working, traffic, weather.

Controls

Matched to each hazard — exclusion zones, banksman, traffic mgmt, supervision.

PPE

Task-specific PPE — hi-vis, boots, hard hat, gloves, eye and harness where needed.

Method steps

Numbered sequence with the responsible person per step.

Emergency arrangements

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

Sign-off requirements

Preparer, reviewer, approver and briefing register set up.

Original message stored

The pasted instruction is kept against the document — full provenance.

Example output

From a three-line message to a site-ready RAMS

'Lift Tuesday AM, banksman needed' becomes a structured RAMS with hazards, controls, method steps and a sign-off block. Edit anything before issue.

Not a blank template

Not a paragraph generator pretending to be a RAMS

Generic AI tools turn three lines into three paragraphs that pass nothing. Riskora reads the message the way a supervisor would — what's the task, what changes today, what stops the work — and writes the structured sections a reviewer signs 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.

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