Audience
It is shaped around steelwork firms that want reusable structure without losing the judgement each live job needs, from sole traders to small contractor teams.
Useful for teams preparing RAMS for workshop operations, deliveries, and the move from fabrication to site work.
Built for firms that need to adjust lifting, access, sequencing, and site interfaces from job to job.
Helps specialist welding teams prepare documents that suit hot works, access limits, permits, and changing site conditions.
A strong fit for firms covering fabrication, delivery, erection, snagging, and remedial work under one company setup.
A few signals that point to a good fit, whether you run a workshop, a small erection crew, or a mobile site welding team.
If your work repeats common activities, plant, or controls, reusable libraries can remove a lot of repeated drafting effort.
It is a strong fit when RAMS need to be turned around quickly but still checked properly before issue.
Fabora RAMS suits firms that need one company structure across fabrication, delivery, erection, welding, and related site tasks.
Straight answers on what RAMS is, when it is needed, and how the software fits smaller steelwork businesses.
RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement. The risk assessment lists the hazards on a job and the controls that reduce them. The method statement sets out the work sequence, the people, and the equipment involved. Together they form the safety document a contractor issues before site or workshop work starts.
Yes. Smaller steelwork firms often write RAMS with the same office and site staff doing several jobs each week. RAMS software helps by reusing company content, so a one-person fabricator or a small erection crew can turn round a job-specific pack without rebuilding it from a blank file every time.
A risk assessment is a legal duty under UK health and safety law, and most main contractors and principal contractors ask for a written method statement as a condition of working on site. So while the exact wording of "RAMS" is not named in law, in practice a steelwork business usually has to produce one. Final suitability and approval stay with your business.
A risk assessment identifies the hazards on a task and the controls that bring the risk down. A method statement describes how the work is done, in order, including the plant, access, and people involved. RAMS combines both so the controls and the working method sit in one issued document.
Yes. Fabora RAMS is shaped around steelwork delivery rather than generic construction admin. It suits steel fabricators, steel erectors, site welders, and mixed steelwork teams that move between workshop fabrication, site welds, lifting, and remedial work under one company setup.
