Your RAMS, linked to the people and jobs they cover.
Paper-based Risk Assessment Method Statements (RAMS) are easy to lose track of, and it can be hard to prove they were ever read. FlexManager's RAMS module links method statements to a wide array of FlexManager solutions, allows you to capture electronic signatures for sign-off, and means you can help ensure that every RAMS stays current and connected.
Could you prove today that everyone on a job has reviewed and signed the RAMS for it? When method statements are kept apart from the jobs and people they cover, sign-offs are hard to track and reviews get missed.
Sign-on sheets on paper
Signatures sit on a sheet stapled to the back, and nothing shows which version each operative read.
Training checked later
Nobody compares the crew list with training records until something goes wrong on the task.
Revisions lost in email
The method changes mid-task, and the new version reaches some of the crew by email and some not at all.
From method to sign-off
One statement carries the task from its method steps, hazards, and controls to the crew's signatures and the follow-up work.
Write
Set out the method as numbered steps, pick hazards that bring their standard controls, and rate each before and after.
Approve
Optional approval stages run before the work goes live, and after.
Sign off
Request sign-off and every crew member must sign the new version; with notifications on, crew sign from a link without logging in.
Close out
Raise work orders; the statement closes out once no work orders are left open.
Key features & benefits
Mobile-to-Desktop Capture
Capture and review RAMS from the field or the office, keeping updates aligned and accessible for the whole team rather than stuck on one paper copy.
Electronic Signature Sign-Off
Capture secure digital approvals to streamline sign-off and record keeping, replacing a paper signature with one that's tracked and easy to find later.
Link What Makes Sense
Link permits, safety data sheets, equipment, and policies to the task.
Linked to Key Modules
Create method statements linked outwardly to a whole host of FlexManager's solutions, so risk planning stays connected to the people and topics it covers.
Follow-Up Accountability
Create follow-up tasks and assign ownership based on findings, so an identified issue leads to a resolution rather than sitting as a note on a form.

Build for those who want RAMS working as they should
From the safety team to the site manager and the subcontractor, everyone works from the same method statement and the same version.
HSEQ Manager
With Training Manager and Policy Control, can see each person's gaps.
Site Manager
Starts from a library template, writes the method steps, adds the crew, requests sign-off after a change, and sees who has signed.
Subcontractor Package Manager
Lets subcontractors write their own method statements in the portal.
Operations Director
Has each version used on site, the linked permits and data sheets, and the closed-out follow-up work on record.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FlexManager's Risk Assessment Method Statement module?
Risk Assessment Method Statement, or RAMS, is FlexManager’s module for creating and managing method statements digitally instead of on paper. It links RAMS to Task Manager, Employee Profile, and Contractor Manager, captures electronic signatures for sign-off, and schedules reviews so documents stay current and connected.
How does RAMS link with other FlexManager modules?
RAMS links directly to Task Manager, Employee Profile, Contractor Manager, and more, so a method statement stays connected to the specific jobs, people, and areas it covers. That connection means risk planning doesn’t sit in an isolated document, but reflects what’s actually recorded elsewhere in FlexManager.
How does electronic signature sign-off work?
RAMS uses electronic signature capture so personnel can sign off digitally, creating a secure, easy-to-find record that a RAMS has been reviewed rather than a paper signature that can be misplaced. This streamlines sign-off while keeping a clear record of who has reviewed a given method statement.
Can I attach supporting evidence to a RAMS?
Yes. You can attach evidence and reference material directly to a completed RAMS, so supporting documentation sits alongside the risk assessment itself rather than in a separate file. This helps build out a fuller risk profile for the job the RAMS covers.
Can I set up follow-up tasks from a RAMS?
Yes. RAMS lets you create follow-up tasks and assign ownership based on findings, so an identified issue is tracked through to resolution instead of being noted and left. This promotes accountability by giving each finding an owner responsible for closing it out.
How do scheduled reviews work?
You can schedule review cycles for each RAMS, so documents are revisited on a set schedule rather than only when someone remembers to check them. This keeps method statements current and reflective of the latest site conditions and requirements, rather than going stale after the first sign-off.
Can I trust FlexManager's approach to RAMS record-keeping?
FlexManager has worked with health and safety teams since 2011, including people who have written and signed off on RAMS on real job sites, not just built software around the idea of one. FlexManager is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 certification, and it’s the ISO 27001 information-security standard in particular that underpins how RAMS handles signatures and supporting evidence, so sign-off records stay a reliable part of the file rather than just a checkbox.
