The paperwork
The paperwork
that wins tenders,
and holds up at audit.
CDM 2015, RIDDOR, RAMS, permits, COSHH, LOLER, PUWER, Work at Height — the regulator's whole alphabet, in one module. Sign the toolbox talk on phone, raise the near-miss in twenty seconds, file the lift plan against the project. The HSE evidence pack writes itself in the background.
§ 01Where the paperwork breaks
Eight folders.
One HSE letter.
And nobody can find the RAMS.
Most UK SMEs we onboard have safety paperwork scattered across Dropbox, the foreman's phone, a paper folder in the cabin and one director's email. It works until somebody asks for evidence. Then it does not.

§ 04Permits, six shapes
Six permits, one stack.
Numbered automatically.
PDF for the wall.
Every permit type has its own template, its own questions and its own sign-off chain. They share the same numbering, the same audit trail and the same one-click PDF for the cabin wall. The auditor sees a stack, not a folder.

Insight
§ 06The questions every SHEQ asks
The questions every
SHEQ lead asks in the demo.
The full list lives at /faqs. These eight are the ones we hear in every safety conversation.
01Do you support RIDDOR reporting properly?+
Yes. The accident form distinguishes RIDDOR-reportable events from non-reportable. The system flags the 10-day or 15-day reporting window depending on category, generates an HSE-aligned PDF and keeps a clean record of the reasoning when you decide an event does not meet the threshold. We do not file to HSE on your behalf — the duty stays with you — but the paperwork is ready.
02Will the lads on site actually fill it in?+
A near-miss takes about 20 seconds on phone. RAMS sign-off is one scroll and a finger swipe. Toolbox talks open at the next pinned topic. The whole module is built around the wet Tuesday on site, not a desk in the office. Adoption per site is reported in the dashboard, so you can see the rollout, not guess at it.
03Can we bring our own RAMS templates?+
Yes — we import your existing templates as part of onboarding. We also ship a library of 40-odd starter RAMS by trade, which most firms pick from on day one and tweak in week two. You always own your own templates and can export them at any time.
04What about subbies on site? Do we pay for them too?+
No. Subbie operatives sign RAMS, toolbox talks and permits on the same module at no extra cost. Their certificates and insurance live on their portal. The audit trail covers everyone on the gate, not just direct employees.
05How does the CDM 2015 file get assembled?+
It is a live picture, not a pre-tender export. Construction Phase Plan, RAMS, RIDDOR records, training matrix, welfare confirmations, plant compliance — they live against the project as it runs. At handover you click once and get a single CDM 2015 file PDF ready to hand to the client or principal designer.
06Is the audit trail tamper-proof?+
Every event — sign-off, edit, status change — writes a signed entry with user, device, IP and timestamp. The audit log is append-only. Permits, RAMS and toolbox talks freeze on submission and require a new version to amend. We keep the chain of custody an HSE inspector or a tribunal would accept.
07Do you cover ISO 45001 and SMAS / CHAS pre-quals?+
Yes. The data model is aligned to ISO 45001 / HSG65 (Plan-Do-Check-Act). For SMAS, CHAS, Constructionline and Achilles re-quals, the certificates, RAMS, training matrix and incident statistics export as the bundle they ask for. Most firms cut the time on a re-qual from a fortnight to an afternoon.
08Is the data secure? UK hosted?+
AWS eu-west-2, London. Data does not leave the UK. AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. ICO registered, GDPR by default, Cyber Essentials Plus. The audit trail is signed, the photos are stored in the same residency, and the export is one click in CSV and PDF.
