FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the swiftRMS business case.
How much does swiftRMS cost compared to a health and safety consultant?
swiftRMS Pro costs £49/month for unlimited documents, compared to £300-500+ per document from an external H&S consultant. That's a 99% cost reduction for a task-specific RAMS you review in-house. Even compared to writing RAMS in-house (which costs roughly £120/doc in senior employee time), swiftRMS saves over 95%.
How long does it take to create a RAMS document with swiftRMS?
Most users generate a complete RAMS draft in under 3 minutes. You describe the work being carried out, and our AI produces a full risk assessment and method statement — including hazard identification, risk matrices, control measures, PPE requirements, and legislation citations. The traditional manual process typically takes 2–4 hours per document.
Are swiftRMS documents compliant with UK health and safety regulations?
swiftRMS drafts every document to UK requirements and cites the legislation that applies, such as CDM 2015, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and MHSWR 1999. Whether a RAMS is suitable and sufficient depends on your site and task, so a competent person must review, edit where needed and approve it before it's used. Each draft includes risk matrices, control measures, PPE and emergency procedures.
Can I try swiftRMS before committing to a paid plan?
Absolutely. Every new account gets a 14-day free trial with generous fair-use limits. You can evaluate the quality, compliance, and time savings before choosing a paid plan.
What ROI can I expect from switching to swiftRMS?
Based on producing 10 RAMS documents per month, businesses typically save over £47,000 per year and reclaim 564+ hours of productive time annually compared to using external consultants. Even compared to in-house production, the savings exceed £13,800 per year. Most customers see a positive ROI within their first week.
Is swiftRMS suitable for large organisations with multiple sites?
Yes. swiftRMS offers Business and Enterprise plans designed for multi-site organisations, with features like team management, shared templates, and centralised compliance reporting. Enterprise clients also get dedicated support, SSO, and custom implementation.
