The RAMS App Built for the Front Line
Stop making risk assessment method statements from scratch. Sitemate’s Risk Assessment Method Statement (RAMS) App streamlines the risk assessment process and provides a structured method statement without needing manual data entry. The app employs modern methods, like AI integration, to help users complete the RAMS creation and completion process more efficiently.

Why RAMS management Is Harder than It Should Be
Completing the RAMS under pressure
Supervisors who are manually making the RAMS usually rush completing it to accommodate tight schedules and deadlines, which affects the quality of the document.
Varying formats across teams
The RAMS format varies depending on the supervisor making it. This creates data inconsistencies, which affects the audit trail.
Low-quality safety controls
A rushed RAMS is more likely to contain inaccurate safety measures, which can compromise the safety of the workers.
Slow approval system
Paper-based RAMS requires manual handoffs to have them signed and approved, which is an inefficient process, especially for activities or projects with tight deadlines.
A Smarter RAMS App
Automatic template creation
The Dashpivot platform that powers the RAMS App can help create RAMS templates just by describing the form or uploading relevant documents.
Auto-populates fields accurately
Sitemate’s AI assistant Storm can automatically populate fields in the RAMS by extracting context from existing work procedures, hazard registers, and inspection reports.
Easy approvals and handoffs
Sitemate’s RAMS App has a configurable notification system that immediately informs relevant stakeholders when a RAMS is initiated or completed.
Slow approval system
Completed RAMS are stored in a secure cloud location, where supervisors can easily retrieve completed forms just by searching or using the filter function.
Understanding RAMS Software
What is a RAMS App?
Sitemate's RAMS App is a modern tool that allows supervisors to make a complete and compliant RAMS with a few taps and clicks. Using the Dashpivot platform, the app helps create a more detailed document that describes how a certain task will be completed safely. It adds to the risk assessment by providing step-by-step instructions for completing a task while mitigating risks. RAMS documents are especially useful for high-risk activities and projects.
How does a RAMS App template workflow work?
- Capture work details from scope, drawings, hazards, and supervisor notes
- Draft the RAMS with AI-suggested sequencing, controls, and responsibilities
- Review and edit each section so it matches the job and site conditions
- Approve and sign off before work begins, with a recorded trail
- Store and link the record to the job for access, reporting, and audits
Who uses RAMS?
Civil infrastructure, rail, utilities, industrial services, and maintenance contractors deliver high-risk work, which is why risk assessment method statements are a required control. Supervisors, engineers, and project managers use Sitemate to produce consistent RAMS quickly, keep approvals on record, and meet compliance requirements across every job and site.
How To Set Up a Digital RAMS Using Sitemate
Create the RAMS templates
Link the RAMS templates
Link activity specifications, hazard registers, safety protocols, and certificates to the RAMS template to provide optimal cross-referencing and traceability.
Enable access
Establish permissions and access for all involved personnel. It would be beneficial to establish roles and responsibilities before access is granted to provide a clear hierarchy of how the RAMS is distributed.
Conduct trial tests
Conduct trial tests to ensure accurate data capture, AI mapping accuracy, and correct RAMS generation.

Frequently asked questions about the RAMS App
What is included in a RAMS template?
A RAMS template includes a description of the activity or environment, roles and responsibilities, identified hazards, risk scores, control measures, safe procedures, and required signatories for validation. Templates can be generated from existing hazard registers or from photos and voice notes recorded in the field.
Does Dashpivot work even if offline?
Yes, Dashpivot can work even without internet connectivity. It stores all collected data, like photos and hazard notes, on the phone and automatically syncs when connectivity returns.
How does AI help when completing a RAMS?
Sitemate’s AI assistant Storm can extract data from hazard registers, work procedures, and photos or voice recordings taken from the field and auto-fill the relevant fields on the RAMS. This process eliminates manual data entry, which significantly streamlines the RAMS process.
Can I update an existing RAMS template?
Yes, you can easily update the risk assessment template to align with your workflow and site-specific hazards by using the powerful drag-and-drop form builder in Dashpivot.
How do I inform relevant stakeholders when a RAMS is completed?
The RAMS App has a notification system that can be configured to automatically notify relevant stakeholders when a risk assessment form is completed, which eliminates the need for personal handoffs.
Can multiple people contribute to the same RAMS?
Yes, several team members can add notes, hazards, or sign-offs to the same RAMS form. As long as they have the right permissions and save their work, the software saves and timestamps all edits made by contributors.
What happens if conditions change after a RAMS has already been completed?
Safety officers can use the software to update the RAMS and promptly notify the relevant team members. This keeps the risk assessment safety measures up to date, rather than leaving outdated information in circulation onsite.
