A RAMS template free of charge is on this site, and it is the full document rather than a sample page: the header, the risk assessment rows, the method statement steps with the assessment's controls attached, the plant, permits and PPE, the emergency arrangements and the crew's sign-on sheet. The HSE's guidance, cited below, gives risk assessment as five steps: identify hazards, assess the risks, control the risks, record your findings, review the controls, and says that if you employ 5 or more people you must record your significant findings. The risk assessment and method statement tool takes the task's hazards, controls and steps and prints the RAMS without an account; the paid product keeps the signed one against the job.
What the free document contains
Everything a principal contractor reads: the site-specific hazards assessed with who is at risk, the likelihood and severity, the control and the residual risk; the method in steps with each control at its step; the plant and permits; the emergency and rescue arrangements; the sign-on. Nothing is held back to be sold.
What you bring
The task's own hazards and controls, the site's own details, the sequence the crew will follow. The tool sizes and prints; the knowledge is the contractor's, because a RAMS that is not the contractor's own is the one the approver returns. Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, cited below, requires every employer to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to the health and safety of their employees, and regulation 3(6) requires an employer with five or more employees to record the significant findings and any group of employees especially at risk.
What is paid for
Keeping the RAMS against the job in the version the crew signed, with the review date, the reminder, the incident reports that trigger a review, and the export a client or inspector asks for. From the vendors' own pricing pages, cited below: SafetyCulture lists its Premium plan at $29 per seat per month billed monthly or $24 billed annually, with a free plan for small teams; Contractor Foreman lists its Basic plan at $49 per month for one user. DailyLogDesk Pro is $29 per month for the whole site team.
Why free is safe here
Because the template is never a filled document. It prints from your figures each time, so there is no generic RAMS on this site to copy by mistake. A free template that comes pre-filled is the one that gets filed unchanged.
