RAMS software for faster, clearer and better-controlled risk assessments and method statements
Create the RAMS faster, then keep control of what happens to it afterwards.
Build, review, issue, e-sign and share site-specific RAMS without relying on copied Word files, PDF attachments and version-heavy email chains.
You are in good company. Trusted by H&S teams from companies like
Every part of your RAMS process, under control, in one software
Create clear, site-specific RAMS without starting from scratch
Build the risk assessment and method statement through a structured digital workflow rather than copying the last Word document and hoping every old detail has been removed.
Capture the job, site, hazards, controls, PPE, equipment, sequence of works and emergency arrangements in one connected process.
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.
Define control measures once and reuse approved wording
Build a reusable control-measures library so teams have a consistent starting point instead of rewriting the same safety controls across different RAMS.
Reuse what should stay consistent, then change what is genuinely specific to the job.
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.
Give site teams access to the current RAMS in seconds
Use QR codes so workers can reach the relevant RAMS from a phone without hunting through printed packs, folders or old attachments.
Create with confidence
Build professional RAMS without rebuilding the document every time
A lot of RAMS work is repetitive. The problem is that copying an entire old document can carry yesterday’s project details into today’s job.
Evalu-8 gives your team a structured starting point. Reuse approved methods and controls where they genuinely apply, then build the final RAMS around the work being carried out now.
- Build unique RAMS or start from reusable content
- Bring hazards, controls, PPE and more into the same workflow
- Generate a consistent, branded RAMS pack
Keep every RAMS moving
Create, store, share and sign RAMS in one place
Creating the document is only half the job.
Keep RAMS organised in one central system, share them with the relevant people and collect digital acknowledgement without relying on printed copies, scattered folders or long email chains.
- Create and store RAMS centrally
- Share with employees, supervisors and contractors
- Collect digital signatures and timestamps
Instant access
Site teams see the latest RAMS in seconds

Reusable methods
Build your own library of method statements
Similar work often has a similar core method. That does not mean the final RAMS should be generic.
Create reusable methods around the work your organisation actually carries out, add the relevant sequence to a new RAMS and adapt it around the real project.
- Build an organisational method-statement library
- Reuse proven sequences of work
- Keep the final method job and site specific

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
One connected RAMS
Keep the risk assessment and method statement in the same working process
A risk assessment identifies what could cause harm and what controls are needed. The method statement explains how the work will actually be carried out.
Evalu-8 brings those two parts of RAMS together so the hazards, controls and planned sequence do not become disconnected documents.
- Record hazards and who may be affected
- Add the required controls
- Build the safe sequence of work
Make it specific
Reflect the people, site and work that are genuinely involved
A good RAMS is not an old document with a new project name at the top.
Record the people who could be affected, the actual location, the equipment involved and the real method being used.
- Employees
- Contractors
- Location & more
RAMS SOFTWARE TO STAY IN CONTROL
The operational difference between a RAMS document and a RAMS process
per RAMS document
A real-world example of what changes when the RAMS process moves away from manual document creation and into a structured system.
Roy Scott
EHS Lead · Turmec
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.
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.

RAMS SOFTWARE FAQS
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
