What principal contractors actually reject

Generic RAMS

Wrong address. “Use PPE.” No sequence. No residual risk. COSHH that does not name the tin on the van. That pack gets bounced.

What this is for

Name the task. Score the real hazards. Write the steps in order. Record today’s weather, access and briefing. Send a pack someone can read at the gate.

The pack

Four documents. One send.

Risk assessment, method statement, COSHH, and a daily STOP check. Built for CDM sites and occupied buildings, not office templates. You still attach the current safety data sheet.

Risk assessment

Hazard, who is harmed, controls, score before and after. Add or delete lines.

Method statement

Sequence, plant, PPE, competence, emergencies, welfare — in plain English.

COSHH

Substance, SDS, routes, WEL, controls, first aid. The app does not invent chemistry.

Daily STOP

Start-of-day check. GO or STOP. One record per day, kept with the job.

Built for the people who get the email at 6.40am

If you do not understand the task, do not use a generator and hope. That is how people get hurt and how insurers walk away.

RAMS and COSHH templates for UK trades

Electrical, plumbing, decorating, joinery, groundworks, roofing, scaffolding, bricklaying, plastering, flooring, hot works, working at height, drainage, kitchen fitting, glazing, cleaning, and non-licensed soft strip.

Each pack is editable so the site address, sequence and substances match the job.

RAMS template UK — common questions

What does RAMS stand for?

Risk Assessment and Method Statement. The risk assessment lists hazards, who might be harmed and the controls. The method statement is the step-by-step way the work will be done.

Do I still need a COSHH assessment?

Yes, if you use or create substances hazardous to health. Attach the current safety data sheet.

Is a daily STOP check the same as a RAMS?

No. The RAMS covers the job. The daily STOP asks whether it is still safe to start today.

Important

Site Safety Docs drafts documents. It does not certify competence or train your team. Risk assessments must be suitable and sufficient. COSHH needs the current SDS. Asbestos and lead have separate rules. Someone who understands the work must edit and sign before anyone starts.
