The Site Book is a UK CDM 2015 compliance tool for RAMS, CPPs, inductions, toolbox talks, site attendance, files, portal users, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions. SafetyCulture (now presented as Mitti by SafetyCulture) is a global workplace operations platform for inspections, training and frontline workflows, with Free, Premium and custom-priced Enterprise tiers. Pick The Site Book for small-builder CDM documents; pick SafetyCulture for configured inspection programmes across wider operations.
The Site Book wins for builders who need UK CDM document creation plus lightweight Business site records; Mitti (by SafetyCulture) is the right call for larger operations and frontline teams running configurable inspections, training and workplace workflows across many industries.

Best for
UK builders and principal contractors - from sole traders to builder-run firms of around 50 staff - who need CDM documents plus lightweight site H&S operations: RAMS, CPP, COSHH, inductions, toolbox talks, site attendance, site files, document review evidence, subcontractor evidence and worker/visitor portal access.
Larger operations, EHS and frontline teams that need a broad workplace operations system for inspections, training, issues, documents, assets, contractor management and analytics across many sites, not UK CDM-specific document creation.
Not ideal for
New product (launched 2026) -smaller customer base and shorter track record than established tools like HandsHQ.
Global product -UK CDM 2015 regulations require manual setup and customisation; no UK-specific RAMS/CPP/COSHH content out of the box.
RAMS
AI-generated, site-specific, edit in-browser.
Inspections/checklists and forms can be configured, but it is still not a RAMS-specific generator.
CPP
Full Construction Phase Plans - not just RAMS.
COSHH
Standalone COSHH document + site-specific register, SDS upload with extraction, and construction-focused library entries that appear in search only after review.
Generic forms/checklists can be configured, but UK COSHH records still require manual setup and UK-regs content.
Method statements
Site inductions
Workers sign from their phone - on Business, key H&S details are readable in 9 languages.
Training/onboarding and forms can support induction-style workflows, but it is not a UK CDM site induction generator by default.
Multilingual inductions (9 languages)
On the Business plan, workers read and acknowledge key H&S details in 9 languages; the language used is recorded in the audit trail and translations are site-team reviewable.

Reading this table: a tick means supported, a dash means partly supported, and a cross means we checked and it is not supported. An em dash (—) means we have not verified that capability for that product either way — treat it as unknown, not as a missing feature, and check with the vendor.
Why this matters
SafetyCulture is a powerful inspection and audit tool if you have a dedicated EHS team, a safety manager, and time to configure custom templates for UK construction. It is still a checklist and operations platform rather than a CDM document builder: creating a CDM-compliant RAMS requires setup and expertise. The Site Book gives small UK builders RAMS, CPPs, COSHH assessments, site inductions, site attendance, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions in one focused workflow.

Sweet spot
A builder-run principal contractor on a domestic or commercial project who needs ready-to-sign CDM documents, worker sign-off, a live people-on-site view, practical site files, subcontractor evidence records and lightweight inspections/actions - without a dedicated H&S department to run them.
Strengths
UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions (readable and acknowledgeable in 9 worker languages on Business, with the language audit-recorded) + worker sign-off, including optional 4-digit shared-link PIN evidence on Business, plus site attendance, portal users, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions.
Generate a site-specific RAMS first draft from a natural-language brief in under five minutes, ready for competent-person review - not a template library you hand-fill.
Controlled document workflow without an enterprise contract: version history and a recorded issue confirmation before a document is shared with a client or downloaded in the app on every plan, re-sign on revision with superseded signatures preserved plus PCPP import, cert tracking and document checking from the £39/month Pro plan - and on Business, optional named-approver routing (a designated approver accepts or rejects each version, with recorded reasons, before it can be issued) plus client approve/reject/request-changes via share links.
Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 10 management logins and 50 active site portal users. Worker document signing has no per-signature charge; project workers count as active portal users while assigned.
Build RAMS for any trade - add your own work types and method statements alongside the built-in library, reusable across projects, including a ready-made Commercial Solar PV group. Save a finished job as a reusable project template, or clone it, so the next job of the same shape starts from your own setup.
COSHH goes deep: a standalone COSHH assessment document, upload-a-Safety-Data-Sheet extraction, a site-specific substance register and an expert-reviewed library - plus per-worker RAMS sign-off and a one-click Audit Pack covering documents, sign-offs, worker evidence, attendance, incidents, COSHH, permits and up to the latest 500 live Site Diary entries.
Weaknesses
New product (launched 2026) -smaller customer base and shorter track record than established tools like HandsHQ.
Procore integration is in final testing rather than publicly launched -until it ships, compliance docs export as PDFs rather than syncing into Procore. A public REST API and signed webhooks are live on the Site Control tier; Autodesk Construction Cloud is not integrated.
Site files are a practical portal for drawings, plans and procedures, not formal drawing revision control.
UK-focused content (CDM 2015, HSE guidance) -international contractors on non-UK projects would need to adapt the output.

Sweet spot
A multi-site operations or HSEQ team rolling out configurable frontline workflows across inspections, training, issue capture, document control, contractor readiness and asset maintenance.
Strengths
Industry-leading mobile inspection and audit app (formerly iAuditor) -strong at checklist-driven fieldwork.
Configurable form builder supports many industries globally -flexible for teams that want to design their own workflows.
Mature mobile app with offline support and strong photo/evidence capture.
Weaknesses
Global product -UK CDM 2015 regulations require manual setup and customisation; no UK-specific RAMS/CPP/COSHH content out of the box.
Not a document creator -no RAMS or method statement generator; builders still need a separate compliance document tool.
Configuration, training, and rollout are needed before it fits a UK construction site -not a document-first small-builder CDM tool.
Complex interface on small screens -optimised for enterprise ops teams, not for sole traders on a phone.
Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
Does SafetyCulture create RAMS and CPPs?
No. SafetyCulture, formerly iAuditor, is a global inspection and audit platform - it excels at checklist-driven fieldwork and incident logging, but it is not a UK CDM document creator. It does not generate RAMS, CPPs, COSHH assessments, or method statements. The Site Book generates all of these from a plain-English job description against CDM 2015 requirements, with no template editing or per-seat upsell required.
How does pricing compare?
SafetyCulture's public pricing page shows a free plan plus Premium and Enterprise tiers, with Enterprise on custom pricing - but no public per-seat Premium price on the current page. The Site Book is Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, and Business £199/month with 10 internal logins plus 50 active site portal users. The comparison is not seats alone: SafetyCulture is operations- and inspection-first, while The Site Book is CDM-document and site-H&S-portal focused.
Can I use both tools on the same project?
Some enterprise teams do - SafetyCulture for inspection checklists, The Site Book for CDM compliance documents. They solve different problems. SafetyCulture is about ongoing audit and inspection workflows. The Site Book is about producing the RAMS, CPP, and COSHH documents you hand to workers before they start, plus the digital site induction and worker sign-off needed to keep the audit trail intact.
Why pick The Site Book if I am UK-only?
The Site Book is built specifically for sole traders and small to mid UK builders working under CDM 2015. Its features map directly to UK duties - the CPP, the RAMS, the F10, the site induction. SafetyCulture is industry-agnostic and global, so its templates are not aligned with UK construction law out of the box. For a UK builder, the localisation alone saves time on every project.
Can I try The Site Book before committing?
Yes. The Site Book has a free tier that lets you create your first project and generate real documents - your CPP, RAMS, and site induction - without entering a credit card. SafetyCulture's trial is built around inspection workflows, not document creation. The Site Book lets you see the actual CDM document output on day one, which is what UK builders are evaluating.
