Who is behind this
RiskPass is one person, not a software company. It is written by a working Head of HSEQ, and sold by a sole trader whose name and address are at the bottom of every page on this site.
The day job
I run the health, safety, environment and quality function for a multi-site logistics operation. That means the ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 management systems: writing them, keeping them current, and getting them through external audit every year.
The parts of that which matter here are the unglamorous ones. Internal auditing — reading other people's documents closely enough to find what is missing. Corrective and preventive action — working out why something was wrong rather than just fixing the paperwork. And time on site, where you find out quickly which risk assessments were written by someone who had been there and which were written at a desk.
Why I built it
Because the same conversation kept happening. A sole trader or a two-man firm gets asked for a RAMS on Friday for a job starting Monday. They have done the work safely for twenty years and can tell you exactly how they will do it. What they cannot do, at nine at night, is turn that into eight pages of scored hazards, method steps and regulations.
So they download a blank template and stare at it, or they send something copied from a job three years ago, and it gets rejected. Neither of those makes anyone safer.
The gap is not knowledge of the work. It is the writing up. That is a narrow enough problem to be worth solving properly and selling for £29.
Why the legislation is kept by hand
This is the part I would want to know about if I were buying. A language model asked to list the regulations for roofing will produce a confident, plausible list. Some of it will be right. Some of it will be a regulation that was replaced, or renumbered, or that never existed.
On a RAMS that reaches a principal contractor, a wrong citation is worse than no citation. It is the thing a competent reviewer spots first, and it discredits the rest of the document.
So the model is not allowed to recall legislation at all. Each trade has a list I built and maintain by hand — the actual citation titles, plus a line on why each one bites for that trade. That list is given to the model as the only thing it may cite, and every document is checked against it afterwards. A reference that is not on the list is not a warning; the document is rejected and written again.
It is more work to maintain than letting the model guess, and it is the main reason this is not the same as asking a chatbot for a risk assessment.
What I am not claiming
This is not consultancy
I am not your health and safety adviser and buying a document does not make me one. I have not seen your site and know only what you type into the form.
The document is a draft
You, or whoever controls the work, are the competent person. Every document has to be read, checked against the actual site and adapted before anyone works to it. That is true of a RAMS you write yourself too.
I cannot promise acceptance
Principal contractors have their own standards and their own house styles. Anyone promising you a document will be accepted is guessing.
The business
RiskPass is a trading name of «FULL NAME», a sole trader based at «TRADING ADDRESS». There is no limited company behind it and no company number, because there is no company — just one person selling a document. Contact: «CONTACT EMAIL».
It is deliberately small. No accounts to create, no data collected beyond what goes in your document, and everything deleted on a schedule — 30 days for previews, 12 months for documents you paid for.
If a document is not good enough to hand to a principal contractor, I want to know about it. That is not a courtesy line: reading the bad ones is how this gets better.
Judge it on the document
You can read most of one before paying, and a complete one without giving an email address.
£29 when you unlock it. Nothing to pay until you have read the preview.
