Where Word templates help

Word templates are familiar and useful for starting a RAMS structure. They can capture scope, hazards, controls and method steps quickly when the work is simple and the team is small.

Where they become hard to control

Problems appear when documents are emailed, renamed, revised and printed. Teams can lose track of the current version, collect signatures against the wrong copy or store supporting photos and permits somewhere else.

What RAMS software changes

RAMS software turns the document into a workflow. It can track owner, version, review date, approval, issue, acceptance, evidence and reporting in one place. That gives the contractor a clearer record of what was prepared and what happened next.
