Fabora RAMS vs copied old files and generic RAMS tools

Why it feels different

Why steelwork teams find it easier to run day to day

No big claims here. It is simply a more controlled way to draft, review and issue RAMS across repeat workshop and site jobs.

Steelwork fit

Built around steel fabrication, site welding, and erection work

Fabora RAMS is aimed at steelwork businesses that need RAMS software shaped around fabrication, erection, site welding, and related delivery work rather than generic construction admin.

Repeat work

Keep repeat RAMS work moving without copied old packs

Reuse customers, sites, operatives, presets, and supporting libraries so the next draft starts from a controlled base instead of a renamed file.

Issue quality

Present RAMS more cleanly when they leave the business

Live records, revision numbering, branded PDFs, and share links make it easier to control what is issued and what version people are looking at.

What it does and does not claim

Clearer drafting without taking review away from your team

Fabora RAMS helps teams produce cleaner first drafts and more consistent packs, but competent review, approval, and job-specific judgement still stay inside your business.

What is Fabora RAMS?

Fabora RAMS is RAMS software for UK steel fabricators, steel erectors, site welders, and related site-working metal trades. It is built for repeat site and workshop RAMS work where teams want faster drafting, clearer job-specific editing, and cleaner issue control.

Who is Fabora RAMS built for?

It is built for UK steelwork teams preparing RAMS around fabrication, delivery, erection, site welding, and related site-working tasks. It is not positioned as generic office document software for occasional users.

What does Fabora RAMS include today?

Fabora RAMS includes site and workshop RAMS, live records with revision control, duplicate workflow, job setup, reusable method presets, hazard, COSHH, PPE, and equipment libraries, saved customers, sites, contacts, and operatives, branded PDF exports, shareable links, and dropdown-led reuse.

Does Fabora RAMS work in the browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile?

Yes. Fabora RAMS works in a modern browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Can Fabora RAMS handle both site and workshop RAMS?

Yes. Fabora RAMS includes separate site and workshop RAMS modes so teams can start from the right context and then edit the pack around the actual job.

How much does Fabora RAMS cost and how do buyers start?

Fabora RAMS includes a Free plan for testing and occasional use, plus the Fabora RAMS Pro plan at £24.99/month for regular RAMS creation and fuller company workflow. New buyers can start Free with no card or use the 7-day Pro trial when they want the paid route straight away. Existing users should use Login.

Does Fabora RAMS guarantee compliance or approval?

No. Fabora RAMS is a practical drafting tool. Final review, suitability, approval, and project-specific judgement still stay with your business.

What is RAMS?

RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement. It is a single safety document that sets out the hazards on a job, the controls that reduce them, and the step-by-step method for doing the work safely. On steelwork jobs, RAMS are commonly asked for by main contractors and clients before fabrication, site welding or steel erection starts.

Is a RAMS legally required?

UK law does not name the word RAMS, but it does require a suitable risk assessment under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and a safe system of work. In practice, most construction and steelwork clients ask for written RAMS before work begins, so they are treated as a practical requirement on site. Fabora RAMS helps you draft these documents, but final review, suitability and approval stay with your business.

What is the difference between a risk assessment and a method statement?

A risk assessment lists the hazards on a task, who could be harmed, and the controls that reduce the risk. A method statement describes the safe sequence of work step by step, including equipment, people and timings. RAMS combines both in one pack, which is why Fabora RAMS builds the hazards, controls and method steps together for site and workshop work.

How does Fabora RAMS compare with HandsHQ, RAMS App and RAMSGen?

Fabora RAMS is focused on UK steelwork teams such as steel fabricators, site welders and steel erectors. It is designed for editable site and workshop RAMS, reusable company libraries, revision workflow, branded PDFs and share links at £24.99/month for Pro. HandsHQ is more team and enterprise focused, RAMS App is a broader health and safety document package, and RAMSGen focuses on AI-generated RAMS for UK construction contractors. Prices and features can change, so buyers should check the provider's current plan details before choosing.
