RAMS Software
RAMS software for creating, approving and managing site-specific RAMS
Build risk assessments and method statements faster using reusable methods and controls, then manage approvals, revisions, distribution and digital sign-off in one RAMS software system.
You are in good company. Trusted by H&S teams from companies like
Make the repeatable parts repeatable. Keep the job-specific parts job-specific.
Evalu-8 RAMS software removes the work around RAMS production, not the thinking that makes a RAMS relevant to the job.
Follow a clear process instead of rebuilding the RAMS layout every time
Move through the information in a logical order so the person creating the RAMS can focus on the job, hazards, controls and method rather than the mechanics of Word formatting.
Standardise the core content without turning every job into the same generic RAMS
Create reusable RAMS structures around work your organisation carries out regularly.
Central H&S can provide a stronger starting point while the person creating the RAMS still adapts the document around the actual job, site, equipment and conditions.
Build a method-statement library around the work you actually do
Stop searching through old projects for a sequence of work you wrote six months ago.
Create reusable methods for recurring activities, add them to a new RAMS and adapt the final sequence where the job requires it.
Digital sign-offs that show who acknowledged the RAMS
Share the RAMS with employees, supervisors or contractors and capture digital signatures, timestamps and acknowledgements.
See who has signed and who is still outstanding without chasing paper sheets or trying to work out whether an attachment was actually read.
Keep every RAMS moving
Create, review, issue and sign RAMS in one place
Creating the document is only half the job. Keep the approval, issue, acknowledgement and revision process connected instead of spreading it across folders, printed copies and email chains.
- Build unique RAMS or start from reusable content
- Capture digital signatures, timestamps and acknowledgements
- Keep previous revisions and the live version clearly separated
All your RAMS should be managed from first draft to final sign-off in one place
Producing the document is only one part of the job. Evalu-8 gives your team a controlled process for creating, reviewing, approving, issuing, signing and revising RAMS without relying on disconnected files and email chains.
Create
Build RAMS from reusable methods and approved controls.
Review
Check content before it is issued to site teams.
Issue
Give the right people access to the current version.
Sign
Capture digital acknowledgement and evidence.
Why use RAMS software?
One controlled RAMS process instead of another document to manage
A standalone generator can help produce a file. Evalu-8 is built for teams that need control over what happens before and after the RAMS is created.
Managed controls
Define control measures once and reuse them where they belong
Move beyond control wording copied between dozens of old documents.Build a reusable library of approved controls, make them easy for teams to find and use them consistently across relevant RAMS.
- Create a reusable control-measures library
- Use consistent organisational wording
- Adapt controls when the job needs something different
Less time building RAMS. More time managing safety
“We reduced RAMS preparation by 5 hours per document.”

Roy ScottEHS Lead · Turmec
- One current version
Know which RAMS people should actually be using
Keep revisions together, retain previous versions and make the current approved RAMS clear instead of relying on filenames, folders and email attachments.
- Clearer evidence
Keep the history around the document, not just the PDF
Keep issue records, digital acknowledgements, review dates, revisions and supporting information attached to the RAMS so the story is easier to follow later.
A RAMS document tells you what was written. A controlled RAMS process helps you understand what was issued, who acknowledged it and what changed afterwards.
Supporting Information
Add the drawings, plans and files that make the method easier to understand
Some work is easier to explain visually than through another paragraph.Attach diagrams, plans, photographs and supporting documents where they help people understand the task, controls or work area.
- Drawings and site plans
- Lifting plans and instructions
- Supporting documents
Core RAMS capabilities
Everything your team needs to keep RAMS controlled
The little things matter when RAMS are being created, changed, issued and used across multiple jobs.
Duplicate an approved RAMS
Use a proven RAMS as the starting point for genuinely similar work, then change the project, site, hazards and method where the new job requires it.
Branded PDF exports
Generate a clear, professional RAMS pack ready to send to clients without rebuilding the document layout every time in Word.
Review reminders
Set review dates and make RAMS that need attention easier to spot before an old document quietly carries on being used.
Attachments
Keep plans, photographs, diagrams, lifting information and other supporting documents with the RAMS instead of scattered across separate folders.
Link RAMS to the work
Associate RAMS with the relevant job, site, task, location or equipment so people can find the document in the context of the work it actually relates to.
Connected to wider EHS
Manage RAMS alongside risk assessments, COSHH, equipment, contractors, training, audits, incidents and actions instead of leaving RAMS as another standalone document system.
RAMS software built for construction and contractors
Construction businesses need more than a static document tool. They need RAMS software that helps them control risk, keep jobs moving, and show that the right safety steps have been followed before work starts.
Evalu-8 EHS gives contractors a more practical way to manage construction RAMS across sites, teams, and subcontractors. The goal is not just to produce RAMS, it is to make them easier to complete, review, approve, and action in the real world.
CDM 2015 requirements mean construction work must be properly planned, managed, and monitored. Evalu-8 EHS helps you maintain consistency across projects and prove that the right controls were in place — from pre-start through to delivery. Use our free CDM 2015 Duty Holder Checker tool
Site-specific risk assessments
Create and tailor RAMS to each project, not copy and paste generic templates across jobs.
Subcontractor RAMS management
Collect, review, and organise all subcontractor documentation in one central place.
Pre-start sign-off
Support structured approval workflows so nothing starts before the right checks are complete.
Audit-ready visibility
Maintain a clear record of what was reviewed, approved, and actioned across every project.
Questions teams ask before moving beyond Word, PDFs and shared folders
Straight answers to the questions that normally come up when teams start looking at a more controlled way to create and manage RAMS.
What is RAMS software?
RAMS software is used to create, manage, review, issue and track Risk Assessments and Method Statements through a structured digital process.
Instead of maintaining separate Word files, PDFs, spreadsheets and email chains, teams can keep the RAMS workflow in one system, including creation, review, distribution, acknowledgement and version history.
When does a business outgrow Word for RAMS?
Word can be perfectly adequate for occasional, simple RAMS.
It becomes harder to manage when you create RAMS regularly, reuse similar content across jobs, revise documents after issue, need several people to sign them or need site teams to reach the current version quickly.
At that point, the problem is no longer just writing the document. It is controlling the process around it.
Is RAMS software a legal requirement in the UK?
No. UK law does not require businesses to purchase RAMS software.
Employers do have duties to assess and manage relevant health and safety risks.
Method statements are commonly used to plan and communicate how higher-risk, complex or unusual work will be carried out safely, but they are not a legal requirement for every job.
Does RAMS software guarantee that a RAMS is compliant?
No. Software can structure and manage the process, but it cannot make a RAMS suitable simply because the document was created in a system.
The person preparing and reviewing the RAMS still needs to understand the work, hazards, site conditions and controls involved.
Evalu-8 helps teams standardise and control the process while leaving the safety judgement with competent people.
Can we reuse an old RAMS for another job?
You can reuse content where the work is genuinely similar, but the final RAMS should still reflect the actual job.
Evalu-8 lets teams reuse methods, controls and approved content without forcing them to copy an entire previous RAMS and simply change the project name.
Can staff and contractors sign RAMS digitally?
Yes.
Evalu-8 can capture digital signatures, timestamps and acknowledgements so you can see who has received and signed the RAMS and who is still outstanding.
Can site teams access RAMS from a phone or QR code?
Yes.
QR codes can provide a simple route to the relevant RAMS from a phone, reducing reliance on printed packs, shared folders and old downloaded PDFs.
How often should RAMS be reviewed?
There is no single review interval that applies to every RAMS.
The RAMS should be reconsidered when the work, equipment, substances, people, site conditions or controls change, or when an incident or near miss suggests that the existing arrangements may no longer be suitable.
Organisations can also set their own scheduled review dates as part of the management process.
Can RAMS include drawings and supporting documents?
Yes.
Plans, photographs, diagrams, instructions and other supporting files can be kept with the RAMS where they help people understand the work or controls.
Can RAMS be linked to sites, tasks or equipment?
Yes.
Evalu-8 can organise RAMS around relevant jobs, tasks, sites, locations or equipment so people can find the document in the context of the work it actually relates to.
How does RAMS connect with wider EHS management?
RAMS often touches other parts of health and safety management.
Evalu-8 RAMS can sit alongside:
- Risk Assessments
- COSHH
- Equipment
- Contractors
- Training
- Audits & Inspections
- Accidents & Incidents
- Tasks & Actions
