1. Describe the job
The consultant maths
£350 for one document, or £49 a month for all of them.
H&S consultant, per document
£350+
swiftRMS Pro, unlimited documents
£49/mo
One consultant-written RAMS costs more than seven months of unlimited documents. Most contractors cover the subscription with their first document of the month.
One subscription
Every document your site needs, not just RAMS
Pay-per-document tools sell you a single RAMS. One swiftRMS subscription generates the whole safety pack for every job, exported as branded PDF or Word. If you are looking specifically for risk assessment software or method statement software, both are covered here as part of the same document set.
Risk Assessment & Method Statement
Task-specific hazards, control measures, a step-by-step method statement and cited UK legislation, generated from a plain-English description.
COSHH Assessment
Hazardous-substance assessments under COSHH 2002: substances, exposure routes and controls, linked to the same job.
Safe System of Work
Step-by-step safe working procedures your operatives can follow and sign, produced alongside the RAMS.
Construction Phase Plan
The CPP that CDM 2015 requires before work starts on a construction project, drafted from your project details.
Permit to Work
Permits for high-risk activities such as hot works and confined spaces, with approval and sign-off built in.
Manual Handling Assessment
Manual handling assessments covering the task, individual, load and environment for lifting and carrying work.
Hand-Arm Vibration Assessment
HAVS assessments for vibrating tools and plant, so exposure is assessed and documented before work begins.
Toolbox Talks
Ready-to-deliver toolbox talks generated with each job: key hazards, controls and discussion points for the morning briefing.
Every document exports as a branded PDF or editable Word file.

Hours of paperwork, done in minutes.
“We used to pay a health and safety consultant but it was taking lengthy periods of time and didn't meet our clients' expectations. Now we produce RAMS in minutes.”

“Cuts what used to be hours of paperwork into just minutes, while automatically embedding the correct UK legislation citations. Saved us significant time and cost.”

“I needed a full RAMS for one of our jobs. Wrote a short description, uploaded two videos and a photo, and everything was generated in a couple of minutes. It saves me hours every week.”

On every document, on every plan
The details a template can't do
The things that make a swiftRMS document safer on the day, not just faster to write.
Nearest A&E: Trafford General Hospital
Moorside Road, Davyhulme, M41 5SL
2.4 miles by road · about 11 minutes
Scan for live directionsRoute to the nearest A&E
Every document finds the nearest A&E to your site address, works out the road route, and prints a map of it in the Emergency Procedures section with the hospital's name, address, distance and drive time.
A QR code beside the map opens live turn-by-turn directions on any phone, so a printed copy carried onto an unfamiliar site still gets someone to hospital.
Your brand colours on every export
Pick two colours and every exported PDF renders in them: headings, rules, table headers and panels. Risk ratings keep their standard colours, because on a safety document those carry meaning.
A reference on every page
Set a short prefix and every document gets a sequential number like ABC0042 on every page, so quoting it in a meeting or an HSE visit lands on exactly one document.
No signup or card to try. About 2 minutes.
Built for UK compliance
Health and safety software built around UK law
swiftRMS is built around UK law, not a generic template with the legislation left for you to research.
UK legislation, cited automatically
Each document cites the regulations that apply to the task, so the paperwork you hand a principal contractor or client references the law it is meant to satisfy.
The compliance chain
RAMS management software, not just a generator
Writing the document is half the job. Good digital RAMS software also keeps it current, approved and evidenced, which is the half where most contractors get caught out.

Version history & audit trail
Every change and approval is recorded, so you can show exactly what was issued, when, and who signed it off.
Plus a document library, roles and permissions
Every RAMS, COSHH and SSOW you generate lives in one searchable library, and Business supports up to 10 team members with roles: supervisors draft, managers approve, everyone works from the same system. Approval workflows, roles, audit trail and permits are part of the Business plan (£399/mo, up to 10 users). 10+ users? There's a custom Enterprise plan.
Standards
Write your rules once. Every document uses them.
Write down how your company works, once, and every document you generate is built from it, in your own words. That is the part of a RAMS a generic tool can never write for you.
- • No lone working at height, on any site, for any reason.
- • Hard hats, hi-vis and safety boots beyond the gate at all times.
- • Report every near miss to the site supervisor the same day.
For this job
- • Edge protection inspected and tagged before each shift.
- • No work above 23mph wind. Readings logged at roof level.
Site rules
BusinessYour rules open the Site Rules section of every RAMS, SSOW and Construction Phase Plan, word for word. The job-specific rules follow.
PPE in two tiers
BusinessKit you issue on every job goes on every document as you wrote it. Kit for specific jobs is only added when the task calls for it.
Emergency arrangements
BusinessYour first aid, fire, spill and incident wording and your company contacts on every document, with the assembly point still specific to the job.
Substance inventory
EnterpriseAdd a product and its safety data sheet is found, read and kept, so COSHH assessments carry its exposure limits, hazard statements and first aid.
Tool register
EnterpriseAdd a tool and its declared vibration figure is found from the manufacturer, so HAVS assessments use your real tools.
For construction teams
RAMS software for construction teams and contractors
Built for how site work actually runs: a supervisor drafts the document, a manager approves it, and operatives sign it off before the job starts.
Trade-specific from day one
swiftRMS covers 35+ trades and every major sector, with hazards and legislation matched to the work rather than pulled from a generic template.

FAQ
RAMS software FAQ
What is RAMS software?
RAMS software helps you produce Risk Assessment and Method Statement documents digitally instead of writing them from scratch in Word. Modern AI-based tools like swiftRMS go further: you describe the job in plain English and the software drafts the full document — hazards, control measures, method statement and cited UK legislation — in about two minutes, ready for you to review and issue.
What's the best RAMS software for small contractors?
For small contractors the practical test is cost per document and how much writing is left to you. swiftRMS Pro is £49/month for unlimited AI-generated documents — RAMS, COSHH, SSOW and toolbox talks included — with no per-user pricing. You can preview a real generated document at app.swiftrms.co.uk/try before signing up, and our comparison page puts swiftRMS side by side with six alternatives.
Is AI-generated RAMS compliant?
Yes, when it is reviewed and approved by a competent person — the same standard that applies to any RAMS, however it was written. swiftRMS drafts documents that cite the relevant UK legislation (CDM 2015, HASAWA 1974, COSHH 2002, PUWER, LOLER and trade-specific regulations); you check the draft reflects your actual site conditions and approve it, which keeps you in control as the duty holder.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes. The Business plan (£399/month) supports up to 10 team members with roles and permissions, approval workflows, an audit trail and permits to work — so supervisors can draft documents and managers approve them before anything reaches site. For 10+ users there's a custom Enterprise plan.
What does RAMS software cost?
swiftRMS Pro is £49/month for unlimited documents, and Business is £399/month adding team features for up to 10 users. For comparison, pay-per-document tools charge around £29 for a single RAMS, and a health and safety consultant typically charges £350 or more per document — so a subscription pays for itself within the first document or two each month.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and no card is needed to start it. You can also preview a real AI-generated RAMS at app.swiftrms.co.uk/try without creating an account, so you can judge the document quality before you enter any details.
