The connected paperwork and compliance system for UK construction subcontractors. RAMS, site diaries, inductions, hazards and site records — kept together on the job they belong to.
The Problem
The RAMS is a Word file. The sign-on sheet is on a clipboard in the van. The hazard photo is in a WhatsApp thread. When the Principal Contractor asks for records, you go hunting.
Every RAMS starts as the last job’s Word file. Details get missed in the copy and paste.
Site photos and near misses sit in WhatsApp, tied to nothing and buried within a week.
Who was inducted, and against which version of the RAMS? Usually nobody can say.
A request for records turns into an afternoon of digging through inboxes and drives.
The Fix
Set the job up once with its job number, site address and client. Everything you produce for that job is filed against it, so the paper trail builds as you work.
When the Principal Contractor asks what your team was briefed on, the answer sits in one place — not spread across a laptop, a clipboard and three phones.
What Is Inside
Describe the works and FredConSol drafts structured activities and method steps, with the plant, materials, permits and controls that tend to go with them. Always yours to review, amend and approve before it goes anywhere.
Amend a RAMS and the previous version is kept rather than quietly overwritten, so you can show what changed and when.
Sign operatives on from a phone at the gate, and record which RAMS version they were briefed against. No clipboard to lose.
Log progress, weather, delays and visitors as they happen. Raise a hazard or near miss with photos, filed to the job rather than a group chat.
Point it at a safety data sheet or a waste transfer ticket and it pulls the details out, so you are checking information rather than typing it. EWC codes and Duty of Care records kept with the job.
Track hired plant and materials against the job, keep CSCS, SMSTS and SSSTS records in one matrix, and capture carbon data as you go.
Why It Helps
Enter the site postcode and the RAMS can pull in the nearest A&E and a nearby public defibrillator, with distances and a route map for your emergency arrangements. Worth a sense check on site, but it saves a job nobody enjoys doing by hand.
