What you enter and what you get

  • You enter: the project, site and activity; the people exposed; the hazards you have identified; existing controls; the initial risk rating you assign; additional controls; the residual risk rating; actions, owners, due dates and review triggers.
  • You get: an editable risk assessment in Word, PDF or Markdown, with a placeholder in square brackets wherever you left a field blank.
  • It does not: suggest hazards, choose controls or calculate a risk rating. The document is a draft for competent review and does not establish that the work is safe.

For when the law expects a review, see how often to review a risk assessment.

Risk assessment, method statement or full RAMS?

For the method statement on its own, use the method statement generator. To build both, plus a COSHH assessment, an incident report and a toolbox talk record, use the RAMS generator pack. RAMS software for contractors tracks sites, assessments, review dates and reminders. RAMS Pro costs £49 a month or £490 a year (two months free when paid annually), with a 14-day free trial. RAMS Team is coming soon. The documents stay free.
