Best RAMS software in the UK
There's a lot of RAMS software about. Here's what actually matters when you choose, and an honest look at where Complys fits.
What to look for
Site-specific, not templates
The most common reason a main contractor rejects a RAMS is that it's a generic template. Good software produces documents specific to the actual job, trade and site.
Real controls and a clear method
Every hazard needs layered controls, and the method statement needs a proper sequence of work — not one-line placeholders.
Correct legislation and guidance
It should cite the right regulations and industry guidance (TG20, HSG33, CDM 2015, etc.) for the trade.
Review and sign-off
Look for version control, dated documents, sign-off, and the ability to check subcontractor RAMS too.
Storage and accreditation
Everything stored, searchable and ready for CHAS, SafeContractor and SMAS — not scattered across email.
More than RAMS
The best value comes from one platform that also covers fire risk assessments, construction phase plans, asbestos, policies and compliance tracking.
Also worth comparing the established tools directly — see our comparisons against HandsHQ, Citation and others.
Choosing RAMS software — FAQs
What should the best RAMS software do?
Produce project-specific risk assessments and method statements (not templates), with real hazards and layered controls, the correct legislation, a clear method, and proper sign-off — then store them version-controlled and ready for accreditation. Bonus points for reviewing subcontractor RAMS and covering the rest of your compliance.
How is Complys different?
Complys generates site-specific RAMS in minutes with the sequence, controls, PPE, legislation and sign-off built in; can modernise weak existing RAMS to the gold standard; reviews and grades subcontractor RAMS; and goes beyond RAMS to fire risk assessments, construction phase plans, asbestos registers and full compliance tracking — one platform instead of several.
