Questions people ask

What is a RAMS document?
RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement — a combined safety document widely required on UK construction and maintenance work. The risk assessment identifies hazards and controls; the method statement sets out the safe sequence of work. Principal contractors typically require an approved RAMS before you're allowed to start on site.
Is this RAMS generator really free?
Yes. You can create RAMS documents on the free plan with a small footer credit. Upgrading removes the footer, unlocks the full hazard library and your own branding, and lets you save hazard libraries so your next RAMS takes minutes.
Is a RAMS a legal requirement?
The word 'RAMS' isn't named in a single law, but its components are required. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require a suitable risk assessment, and CDM 2015 requires safe systems of work for construction. A RAMS is the standard way to evidence both, and most principal contractors demand one.
Does this guarantee I'm compliant?
No — and you should be wary of any tool that claims it does. This generator gives you a professional, well-structured starting point built from common trade hazards. You must review and adapt every RAMS to your actual site conditions, and a competent person must approve it before work begins.
Can I use this in Northern Ireland?
Yes. The same principles apply, though health and safety in Northern Ireland is regulated by HSENI rather than HSE, under equivalent NI regulations. Tick the Northern Ireland option and the document notes this.
