Assess a RAMS and link it to its package

A deep-indigo workflow banner above three steps, from uploading a RAMS to a checked RAMS record linked to its package and temporary works.

Check a subcontractor's Risk Assessment and Method Statement against UK safety law and your project requirements, with the result held against a RAMS record tied to the subcontractor's work package.

Goal

An assessed RAMS, recorded against a RAMS lifecycle item linked to its package and any temporary works.

What you walk away with

A subcontractor's RAMS checked against UK safety legislation and your activity requirements, with the gaps flagged and follow-up actions raised. The outcome is held against a RAMS lifecycle item linked to its work package and any temporary works, so the assessment is traceable and ready to defend at audit.

Set up the project's packages​

Only if

your project does not have packages set up yet

Break the project into work packages so each RAMS has a package to be linked to. You only need to do this once per project.

Step 2: Start the RAMS assessment ⚡ AI task​

Run the RAMS against UK safety legislation and your activity requirements to get a compliance assessment with the gaps flagged and corrective actions raised. The result is recorded against a RAMS item — pick an existing one, or let PlanOps create one from the submission so the assessment is always tied to a RAMS record. You can also create a toolbox talk fully based on the activities and risks flagged in the assessment.
