SiteHelm's RAMS, COSHH and CDM templates are a starting point. A competent person must check them for each job. You stay responsible for safety on your site.
Make your RAMS site-specific with SiteHelm PRO
SiteHelm PRO turns any of the 104 tasks into RAMS for your job, in five steps:
- Pick the tasks. One task, or several to make a RAMS pack for the job, from 104 ready-made tasks in folders.
- Tell it about the job. The site, the client, the dates, and the hazards that are particular to this site. SiteHelm PRO won't let you skip the site hazards.
- Make it yours. Change any hazard, who's at risk, the ratings and the controls, add your own, and write the method in your own words.
- Your logo, their signatures. Your logo and company details go on every page, and the team signs on screen to say they've read it.
- Send it. The risk assessment as PowerPoint, the method statement as Word, PDFs, or the whole pack zipped ready to email to the main contractor. It stays with the job.
The first 100 get a free 1-year licence.
