RAMS / MSRA software · Updated 5 August 2026

Create, control and brief RAMS for UAE construction work

Method statements and risk assessments that survive the site, not just the submission. Build from UAE task libraries, route to a competent reviewer, brief the crew in the language they work in, and keep every revision tied to the permit that authorises the task.

  • One record holding both the risk assessment and the method statement (RAMS or MSRA)
  • Briefing versions in English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam and Tagalog
  • Revision changes withdraw old language versions and trigger crew re-briefing
  • Controlled, fingerprinted PDF evidence packs for client and authority audits
6 languages
Worker briefing versions tied to one approved master
Revision-safe
Superseded versions withdrawn automatically
Permit-linked
Every high-risk permit references its current RAMS revision

From draft method statement to signed crew briefing

Build RAMS from UAE task libraries

Start from hazard and control libraries written for UAE construction — excavation, working at height, hot work, lifting, confined space, temporary electrics — instead of a blank template. Every clause stays editable before review.

See the RAMS library
Review and approval with named competence

Route each method statement to the competent reviewer and approver for that activity. The approval record keeps who approved, on what date, and against which revision.

See approval controls
Six site languages for worker briefing

Issue the briefing version in English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam and Tagalog. Each translation is stamped with the source revision so a crew can never be briefed from a superseded version.

How multilingual RAMS works
Crew sign-off that proves comprehension

Record briefing language, delivering supervisor, worker sign-off and the comprehension check — not just an attendance sheet.

See workforce records
Live revision control and re-brief triggers

Revising a RAMS withdraws every derived language version and flags the crews that need re-briefing before the next shift.

See document control
Permit linkage and evidence export

Link the current RAMS revision to the permit that authorises the task, then export a controlled PDF evidence pack for a client or authority audit.

Built around UAE requirements, not retro-fitted

Checklists, permits and registers cite the authority behind them — MOHRE Decree 401 for the midday break, Civil Defence for hot work and fire systems, ADOSH-SF (formerly OSHAD) codes of practice, Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, RTA and the northern-emirate municipalities — plus the core GCC regulators for Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.

Who it is for

Different people open this for different reasons. Here is what each role gets on day one.

Method statement author
Build from UAE task libraries with 5x5 scoring, hierarchy-of-control prompts and residual risk, rather than a blank Word file.
Competent reviewer
Approve or reject on a phone, with the decision recorded and the author notified automatically.
Site supervisor
Brief the crew from the approved version in the language they work in, and know a superseded revision cannot be briefed by mistake.
Permit issuer
Every permit is tied to the method statement revision that authorises the task.
Consultant reviewing submissions
See the revision history, who signed and what changed between versions.
Bid and tender team
Reuse an approved library instead of rewriting the same method statement for each submission.

How rollout works

  1. 1

    Pick a template

    Start from a UAE-referenced MSRA template or the risk builder, then adapt it to the actual task and site.

  2. 2

    Score and control

    Apply 5x5 initial scoring, add controls in hierarchy order and record the residual score the reviewer will judge.

  3. 3

    Route for approval

    Send to your nominated competent reviewer; the decision, the reviewer and the date are logged permanently.

  4. 4

    Brief and keep current

    Issue worker-language briefing versions, and let review triggers flag when a change of method needs a new revision.

Your data and access

  • Every record is scoped to your organisation. Users only ever see the sites they are assigned to, enforced at the database level rather than only hidden in the interface.
  • Uploaded evidence — photos, certificates, signed permits — is stored in private storage and served through short-lived signed links, never a public URL.
  • Approvals are role-gated: only the reviewers you nominate can approve a permit, a method statement or a template request.
  • Every approval decision is written to an immutable review log recording who decided, when and what the decision was.
  • You can export your registers, checklists and documents to PDF and CSV at any time, so your compliance record is never locked inside the platform.
  • Deleting a record is auditable, and evidence files are removed with the record they belong to.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between RAMS and MSRA?

They describe the same pairing from opposite ends. RAMS is Risk Assessment and Method Statement — common in UK-influenced contracting. MSRA is Method Statement and Risk Assessment, the order used by many UAE and GCC clients. Site Safety UAE stores one record containing both parts, so whichever label your client uses, the evidence is the same.

How does multilingual RAMS work without losing approval integrity?

The approved source revision is the controlled master and carries the technical approval. Each translated version is a derived briefing artefact stamped with that exact source revision, reviewed by a competent bilingual reviewer, and withdrawn automatically when the source is revised. Translations are never edited independently of the master.

Does the AI write my method statement for me?

It drafts. AI can propose hazards, controls and method steps from a scope description, and every proposal is traceable and editable. A competent person must review and approve the content before it is issued — the platform records who did so. We do not present AI output as a substitute for competent review.

How is revision control handled when a task changes on site?

A change creates a new revision rather than a verbal instruction. The system supersedes the previous revision, regenerates the language versions, flags the crews briefed on the old revision, and blocks the linked permit from being extended until the re-brief is recorded.

Can workers sign off on a phone?

Yes. Briefing sign-off is mobile-first with offline capture, so a supervisor can brief at the workface and sync when back in coverage. The record stores worker, activity, RAMS revision, briefing language and timestamp.

What can I export for a client or authority audit?

A controlled PDF pack containing the approved RAMS revision, its approval trail, the language versions issued, the briefing and sign-off records, and the permits that referenced it. Packs are fingerprinted so the recipient can confirm the file has not been altered.

Does this replace the document control module?

No. This page covers creating, reviewing, briefing and revising RAMS. Controlled distribution, acknowledgement registers, certificate expiry and long-term audit retrieval live in the documents module, and the two share the same record.
