Risk Assessment Method Statement
Paper-based Risk Assessment Method Statement (RAMS) are easy to lose track of and they can be hard to prove if they were ever read. FlexManager's Risk Assessment Method Statement module links method statements to a wide array of FlexManager solutions, captures electronic signatures for sign-off, and schedules reviews so every RAMS stays current and connected.
Where RAMS Fits Into FlexManager
Risk Assessment Method Statement connects with a multitude of FlexManager’s convenient solutions, so method statements stay linked to the jobs and people they cover. Electronic signatures record that a RAMS has been reviewed and signed off, supporting evidence can be attached directly, and scheduled reviews keep each document current.
Who We Support
The module supports Site Supervisors and Project Managers who need RAMS linked directly to tasks and crews, HSEQ Managers scheduling review cycles and tracking sign-off, and Contractor Managers who need contractors working from the same signed, current method statement as employees.
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.
Supporting Documentation
Attach evidence and reference material directly to a completed RAMS, building out a fuller risk profile alongside the document itself.
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.
Scheduled Reviews
Schedule review cycles so RAMS documents stay current and reflect the latest requirements, rather than being reviewed only when someone remembers to.

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.
