What swiftRMS Does Better

  • Written for the job

    A template is someone else's job that you adapt. swiftRMS drafts the RAMS from your description of the task and the site, with the hazards, controls, method and UK legislation for that job, ready for your competent person to review.

  • Signed on site

    On Business, workers scan the QR code on the document, read it on their phone and sign, with no login. You see who has signed and when, and the sign-off register exports as CSV or PDF.

  • Two signatures on high risk

    On Business, mark a document high risk and it needs a named co-signer's counter-signature before anyone can share, export or sign it. Every signer confirms they have reviewed the AI content themselves.

  • The way to hospital on every page

    Every PDF names the nearest A&E with a route map, and a QR code beside it opens turn-by-turn directions on any phone.

Where they lead

Where HASpod Wins

An honest comparison has to say where the other tool is the better fit.

  • Cheaper for a team

    HASpod's Documents Plan is £799 a year plus VAT with 10 users included. A team of 10 on swiftRMS Business is £3,990 a year. For a single user, swiftRMS Pro at £499 a year costs less.

  • A big template library

    HASpod has more than 830 templates, including 286 risk assessments, 207 method statements, 88 COSHH assessments and 163 toolbox talks. swiftRMS doesn't hold a library; it drafts each document for the job.

  • Training and talks

    HASpod's Training Plan includes online courses with assessments and certificates, and its Talks Plan adds daily refreshers and videos. swiftRMS doesn't run training courses.

  • Policies, forms and fire

    HASpod's library includes health and safety policies, forms and reports, and fire documents alongside RAMS. swiftRMS focuses on the safety documents for each job.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is swiftRMS a good alternative to HASpod?

Yes, if you want each RAMS drafted for the job rather than adapted from a template, and want workers to sign on their phone. If you have a team of up to 10 and want a large template library with training courses and toolbox talks for one yearly fee, HASpod costs less. Either way, a competent person should review every document before use.

How much does HASpod cost?

On 19 October 2026 HASpod listed the Documents Plan at £799 a year, the Training Plan at £499, the Talks Plan at £99 and the Pro Plan at £997, all plus VAT, paid annually, with 10 users included and extra users from £15 to £45 a year. swiftRMS Pro is £49 a month or £499 a year for one user, Business is £399 a month or £3,990 a year for 10 users, and Enterprise is quoted per deployment.

What's the difference between a template library and AI RAMS?

A template library gives you a document someone wrote for a typical version of the job, and you edit it to fit. An AI RAMS tool such as swiftRMS drafts the document from your description of this job and this site. Both need a competent person to check the result; the difference is how much you have to change.

Can workers sign RAMS on their phone with swiftRMS?

Yes, on Business. Add workers to the roster once, with no login or seat. On site they scan the QR code on the document, read it and sign, and you get a record of who was briefed and when. Business includes 50 workers.

Can I move from HASpod to swiftRMS?

Yes. Describe a recent job in swiftRMS and compare the RAMS with the template you'd have used. The 14-day free trial includes every Pro feature and needs no card. HASpod says its memberships don't renew automatically, so you can switch at renewal.
