Compare UK RAMS, CPP & CDM compliance software — side by side

UK RAMS & CPP software compared — picks by business size and trade

RAMS software in the UK has split into three rough camps. At the top, enterprise compliance platforms like HandsHQ and Evalu-8 serve mid-to-large contractors with dedicated H&S staff — powerful, but typically sold through sales calls and priced to match. In the middle, template libraries like RAMS Pro and AI-first tools like swiftRMS offer faster document generation for RAMS, COSHH, and related safety paperwork. Low-cost RAMS apps like Fast RAMS focus tightly on mobile RAMS creation. Template libraries like RAMs App offer access to pre-built documents you then edit yourself. At the bottom, pay-per-document tools like RapidRAMS charge per document created - cheap for one-offs, expensive at volume.

Sitting alongside these are broader platforms that solve a different problem: Procore for project management and SafetyCulture for inspections. Neither actually produces your CDM document set - you'll still need something to create the RAMS, CPP, and COSHH documents your client is asking for.

We also now track configurable EHS and field-service tools like Velappity where RAMS, COSHH, induction-style training, inspections, and reporting sit inside broader form workflows. Those platforms can suit larger teams, but small builders should check setup time, pricing tier, and CDM document coverage before choosing them.

The Site Book was built specifically for the sole traders and small builders sitting at the bottom of this market - the ones who need every CDM document but don't have a dedicated H&S manager to produce them. The comparisons below break down exactly how we stack up against each alternative.
