UK trades · site paperwork that survives a gate check

RAMS that look like you walked the job — not copied last month’s Word file.

Site Safety Docs drafts the risk assessment, method statement, COSHH and the daily STOP check. You change the words so they match this site, then email the pack. A competent person still signs it. That is the honest product.

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 Site Safety Docs 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

Risk assessment

Hazard, who is harmed, controls, score before and after. Add or delete lines. Built for CDM sites and occupied buildings, not office templates.

Method statement

Sequence, plant, PPE, competence, emergencies, welfare. The bit operatives actually follow if you write it in plain English.

COSHH

Substance, SDS, routes, WEL, controls, first aid. You still attach the current safety data sheet. The app does not invent chemistry.

Daily STOP

Start-of-day check: briefed, access, plant, permits, PPE, public, has anything changed. 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

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 — paints, adhesives, cement, welding fume, wood dust. Attach the current safety data sheet. This software drafts the form; it does not replace the SDS.

Is a daily STOP check the same as a RAMS?

No. The RAMS covers the job. The daily STOP (point of work) check asks whether it is still safe to start today: weather, access, briefing, permits.

Are these documents HSE approved?

No. The HSE does not approve software output. A competent person must make each pack suitable and sufficient for the site.

Pricing

Billed in pounds by Stripe. Cancel any time once the customer portal is on. Priced against a bounced consultant RAMS, not against a blank Word file.

Say this on every sales page

Site Safety Docs drafts documents. It does not certify competence, train your team, or make a pack “HSE approved.” Risk assessments must be suitable and sufficient. COSHH needs the current SDS. Asbestos and lead follow different rules. Someone who understands the work must edit and sign before anyone starts.
