This tool helps with one part of the paperwork. The builder brings the task, method, hazards, evidence prompts and sign-off together in the full RAMS draft.

Build a marked-up site sketch that can sit behind a RAMS, CPP, fire plan, lift plan or site briefing.
What the sketch must cover
Pick the planning layers that apply. The checker will look for the matching routes, zones and markers.
Site safety plan sketch
Upload a plan or photo, then mark up the routes, exclusion zones, emergency points, services, welfare and permit-controlled areas. The output prints as a RAMS-ready plan.
The sketch is a diagram, not a scale drawing. It’s saved on this device only — nothing is sent to us.
Briefing notes and assumptions
Record what the drawing cannot show: orientation, temporary changes, other trades, access restrictions and review triggers.
Document control
Who owns this document and when it gets looked at again — the evidence reviewers check first.
Name, role and company are remembered on this device only — nothing is sent to us.

Why sketches make RAMS easier to brief
A method statement is not just a written record. It should help workers and supervisors understand how the job will be carried out safely. HSE guidance on construction method statements says they can communicate the safe system of work, particularly for higher-risk or unusual work, and that effective method statements often include diagrams to make the working method clear.
This sketcher is built for that practical gap: show where people enter, where vehicles move, where the exclusion zone sits, where first aid and fire points are, and where a permit-controlled or service-risk area needs extra attention. The output is a planning aid, not a scale drawing, and it still needs competent-person review against the real site.
What to mark up
Start with the base plan if you have one: a site layout, floor plan, aerial image or site photo. Then add the layers that matter for the work: access gates, pedestrian routes, vehicle or delivery routes, emergency access, escape routes, assembly point, first aid, welfare, services, hot works areas, laydown zones and exclusion zones. The checker panel looks for the items implied by the layers you select.
How it supports RamsDocs
The best RAMS are site-specific. A sketch helps force that specificity because it exposes the real workface: access, interfaces, hazards, emergency points and temporary arrangements. Use the sketch as a prompt when you build the RAMS, then attach the printed sketch to the RAMS briefing pack where it helps workers understand the method.

RamsDocs helps draft structured RAMS from your job details. It does not replace competent-person review, site-specific judgement or your legal duties.
Need the full RAMS, not just the numbers?
Build the RAMS, add the site details, then review it before client submission.
Build the three-part health & safety policy the HSE expects — Statement of Intent, Organisation and Arrangements — from your company details and the topics that apply, then print it. A written policy is a legal duty at 5+ employees.
Build a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan for anyone who can't evacuate unaided — capture their needs, alerting method and escape strategy (buddy, evacuation chair or refuge) and print the plan. Built around the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Build a proportionate CPP for small and domestic projects — the document CDM 2015 requires before work starts.
