Construction RAMS Challenges
The UK construction industry faces unique health and safety documentation challenges
Time-Consuming Manual Creation
Manual RAMS generation takes 2-4 hours per document, delaying project starts and contractor mobilization.
50%+ admin time reduction with automation
Inconsistent Quality & Compliance Gaps
Different authors produce varying quality. Gaps in control measures are a major reason HSE stops work on sites.
98% lower client rejection rates
Complex Multi-Regulation Compliance
H&S officers juggle CDM 2015, HASAWA, Work at Height, COSHH, and more. Non-compliance costs £1.3bn annually.
£1.3bn yearly cost of non-compliance
Poor Document Management
Paper RAMS and PDFs create version confusion, missing last-minute updates and workers accessing outdated documents.
100% real-time access eliminates lost versions
RAMS Required for Every Tender
Principal contractors require RAMS before site access. Each new site or variation adds days to project startup.
Up to 3 days saved per new RAMS
