How it works

Three steps. No jargon. No blank forms.

1

Describe your job

Type what you are doing in plain English. "Two-storey rear extension, timber frame, 8 weeks, three of us on site." That is enough. You can also talk into your phone — The Site Book transcribes and extracts the details automatically.

2

Your RAMS is created

A complete RAMS is built from your job description. Hazards specific to your trade, control measures that actually make sense for your site, a method statement that follows your sequence of work, PPE requirements, emergency procedures — all pre-filled and ready to review.

Why templates aren’t enough

You have probably seen free RAMS templates online. They give you a blank Word document with headings and maybe some example text. The problem? Every site is different. A ground-floor extension in clay soil has different hazards to a loft conversion in a Victorian terrace. A generic risk assessment template does not know that.

A free RAMS template also leaves you guessing. Which hazards apply? What control measures should you list? What does the method statement template actually need to say? You end up copying and pasting from old documents or making it up — and if the HSE ever looks at it, a RAMS that is clearly copy-pasted from a template is worse than having no RAMS at all.

The Site Book’s RAMS generator reads your job description and builds a document that is specific to your project. The hazards match your trade. The control measures are practical and achievable. The method statement follows the actual sequence of work you described. It is a finished document, not a starting point — better than any free risk assessment template or method statement template you will find online.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the free RAMS generator.

Is the RAMS generator really free?

Yes, the free tier lets you create RAMS for your first project at no cost. You get a fully formatted, site-specific Risk Assessment and Method Statement that you can download as a PDF and hand over to your client, principal contractor, or keep on file. No credit card required to get started.

What trades does it cover?

All common UK construction trades. The generator adapts to your specific job description, whether you are doing a loft conversion, a ground-floor extension, roofing work, plumbing, electrical installation, groundworks, demolition, decorating, tiling, joinery, or plastering. Describe what you are doing and the generator handles the rest.

Will it be specific to my job?

Yes. Your job description is read and site-specific hazards and control measures are created based on what you are actually doing. This is not a generic template with blanks to fill in — it is a document tailored to your project, your trade, and your site conditions.

Can I edit the created RAMS?

Yes, you can review and edit everything before downloading. You get a solid starting point with all the required sections pre-filled, but you have full control to adjust hazards, add control measures, change PPE requirements, or tweak the method statement to match exactly how you work.
