RAMS generator: create a risk assessment and method statement from your own site facts
This free RAMS generator builds a risk assessment and a method statement from the job details, hazards and controls you supply; it does not choose hazards or controls for you. The pack also includes a COSHH assessment, an incident report and a toolbox talk record.
Build from your own source information, then edit and download all five documents free. Sign in to save the pack privately. AI drafting uses your shared account allowance.

Risk assessment and method statement software: what you supply and what it builds
You supply every fact. The generator arranges them into five documents with fixed headings and document control (reference, revision, prepared by, date and review date).
- You supply: the project, site and activity; the people exposed; the hazards you have identified; existing and additional controls; the initial and residual risk ratings you assign; the work sequence, personnel, equipment and emergency arrangements; actions, owners and review triggers.
- The generator builds: a risk assessment, a method statement, a COSHH assessment, an incident report and a toolbox talk record, with shared details carried across all five and a placeholder wherever a field is blank.
- It does not: choose hazards or controls, calculate risk, or decide that the work is safe. Each RAMS document carries a note that it is a draft for competent review.
Worked example: one site through both forms
This example is fictional. A contractor is replacing guttering at Unit 4, Example Trading Estate, working from a mobile access tower above a public footpath. The first draft left two risk assessment fields and one method statement field blank, so the generator printed placeholders. The reviewer filled them in.
Risk assessment
| Field | First draft | After review |
|---|---|---|
| Hazards identified by assessor | Fall from the tower; materials falling onto the footpath | No change |
| People exposed | Two operatives; members of the public on the footpath | No change |
| Existing controls supplied | Tower erected by a trained operative; guardrails and toe boards fitted | No change |
| Additional controls supplied | [Add additional controls supplied] | Footpath coned off below the tower; a second operative controls the area while materials are lowered |
| Residual risk rating supplied | [Add residual risk rating supplied] | Low (the assessor's rating) |
Method statement
| Field | First draft | After review |
|---|---|---|
| Work sequence supplied | 1. Erect tower. 2. Remove old gutter. 3. Fit new gutter. 4. Dismantle tower. | Adds a first step: cone off the footpath before the tower goes up |
| Related risk assessment | [Add related risk assessment] | RA-014 revision B (fictional) |
The generator did not propose the barrier, the extra step or the rating. They came from the reviewer, who knows the site. The placeholders made the gaps hard to miss.
Before you issue them, check both documents against the RAMS checklist. If you are weighing paid tools as well, see RAMS software compared.
RAMS generator questions
Is the RAMS generator free?
Yes. The guided forms, manual editing and downloads need no purchase. Sign in only if you want to save the pack privately or use AI drafting, which uses your account allowance.
Does it choose the hazards and controls for me?
No. You enter the hazards, the people at risk, the controls and any risk ratings. The generator lays them out; it does not suggest hazards, pick controls, calculate risk ratings or judge whether the work is safe.
Which documents are in the pack?
Five: a risk assessment, a method statement, a COSHH assessment, an incident report and a toolbox talk record. Details such as the project name and site are entered once and used in all five.
What happens if I leave a field blank?
The document shows a placeholder in square brackets, such as "[Add additional controls supplied]", so the gap is visible to whoever reviews it.
Can I edit the documents after they are built?
Yes. Review and edit each draft before you download it. Rebuilding from the form replaces your edits, and the builder asks you to confirm first.
Which file formats can I download?
Word, PDF or Markdown. The pack downloads as one zip file containing all five documents in the format you choose.
