Why UK Steel Fabricators Are Moving RAMS Away From Blank Word Documents
For many UK steel fabricators, site welders and steel erection teams, creating RAMS can still mean copying old Word documents, editing previous jobs, checking hazards, adding PPE, updating method statements and hoping nothing important has been missed. That process can take time, especially when the same company details, workers, tools, equipment, hazards and control measures are typed out again and again. Fabora RAMS has been built to make this process quicker and more organised for fabrication and welding businesses. Instead of starting from a blank document each time, users can create editable risk assessments and method statements using saved company information, reusable libraries, HSE-informed templates, job-specific details and professional PDF export. The software is designed for real site and workshop tasks, including steel installation, site welding, hot works, cutting, grinding, lifting, access work, mezzanine installation and general fabrication work. One of the main benefits is consistency. Businesses can save commonly used hazards, control measures, PPE, equipment, customers, sites and operatives, then reuse them across future RAMS. This helps reduce repeated typing and makes it easier to prepare documents for similar jobs. Fabora RAMS is not designed to replace the judgement of the business, supervisor or duty holder. Every document should still be checked, edited and approved for the specific job. The aim is to give UK steelwork and welding businesses a practical tool that helps them create clearer, more consistent RAMS faster. Fabora is a UK-first software platform built around the needs of fabricators, site welders, steel erectors and related metalworking trades. Find out more at: https://www.faboraplatform.com/fabora-rams
