What is a RAMS document?

RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement. It's a combined safety document used in UK construction to identify hazards, assess risks, and outline safe working procedures for specific tasks or projects.

How does AI generate RAMS documents?

DocGen uses advanced AI to analyze your project description or site video. It identifies potential hazards, assesses risk levels, and generates comprehensive control measures and method statements tailored to your specific work.

How long does it take to generate a RAMS?

With DocGen's Chat RAMS, you can generate a complete document in under 2 minutes. Video RAMS analysis typically takes 5-10 minutes depending on video length and complexity.

Are the generated RAMS documents HSE compliant?

Yes, all DocGen templates and generated documents are structured to meet UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements and construction industry standards.

Can I customize the RAMS documents?

Absolutely. After generation, you can edit any section, add or remove hazards, modify control measures, and apply your company branding including logo and contact details.

What file formats can I export?

DocGen allows you to export your completed RAMS as professional PDF documents or editable Microsoft Word (DOCX) files.

Do I need a RAMS for painting & decorating?

Yes. Under UK health and safety law, any contractor carrying out painting & decorating work should have a suitable risk assessment and method statement in place before starting. A RAMS for painting & decorating demonstrates that hazards have been identified and controlled, and is typically required by principal contractors and clients before allowing work to commence on site.

What hazards does a Painting & Decorating RAMS cover?

A Painting & Decorating RAMS typically covers hazards such as inhalation of paint fumes, falls from ladders/platforms, skin contact with chemicals, dust from sanding. DocGen's AI analyses your specific project details and may identify additional hazards beyond these common ones, ensuring comprehensive coverage for your particular site conditions and scope of work.

How long does it take to create a Painting & Decorating RAMS?

With DocGen, you can generate a complete Painting & Decorating RAMS in under 2 minutes. Simply select the painting & decorating template, describe your project, and our AI creates a professional document with hazards, risk ratings, control measures, a method statement, and PPE requirements — all formatted and ready to download as PDF or Word.

Yes. All DocGen templates and generated documents are structured to meet UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements. The Painting & Decorating template includes risk assessment methodology aligned with the HSE's five-step approach and method statements that satisfy CDM 2015 regulation requirements. However, you should always review the generated document to ensure it reflects your specific site conditions.

Can I customise the Painting & Decorating RAMS for my specific project?

Absolutely. After generation, you can edit every section of your Painting & Decorating RAMS — add or remove hazards, modify control measures, update the method statement, and change PPE requirements. You can also add your company branding, logo, and contact details. The AI-generated document is a comprehensive starting point that you tailor to your exact project needs.
