§ 01 — The difference

AI does the typing. A NEBOSH professional did the thinking.

The risk library, control measures and COSHH judgements are written by a NEBOSH-certified construction professional. AI tailors that proven content to your job — it never invents safety advice from scratch. That's the difference between a document that reads right and one that is right.

01 · WRITTEN

By a NEBOSH professional

Every default control measure and risk judgement comes from issuing RAMS on live UK sites.

02 · TAILORED

To your project by AI

Describe the job in plain English. Keystone matches proven content and fits it to your site.

03 · REVIEWED

And signed off by you

Edit inline, reword in your own voice, then put your sign-off on the pack before it goes out.

§ 02 — Real output, not a template gallery

This is what you send to the principal contractor.

A live extract from a real Keystone risk assessment — branded, structured, audit-ready. Every pack carries your logo and your reviewer sign-off.

Hazards

Scaffold erected without a design or site-specific risk assessment, leading to structural failure

Risk rating

HIGH→LOW

Persons at risk

Apex Scaffolders · Other trades near scaffold · Principal Contractor staff · Members of the public

Control measures

— A written scaffold design or TG20:21 compliance check must be completed before erection begins; complex structures require a design by a chartered engineer.

— Only operatives holding a current CISRS card at the appropriate grade may erect, alter, or dismantle scaffold.

— Site manager to carry out a pre-start survey identifying ground conditions, overhead lines, buried services, and public footfall before work commences.

Erection, alteration, and dismantling of scaffold

Control measures

— Full-body harness with short-lanyard connection to a structural anchor worn on leading-edge or incomplete lifts where collective protection cannot be provided.

— Scaffold must not be loaded or accessed by other trades until formally inspected and a handover certificate issued by a competent supervisor.

— Base plates and sole boards used on all standards; ground-bearing capacity confirmed before erection.

Other control measures relevant to all hazards

Hard hats, safety boots (steel toecap and midsole), hi-vis vests, and rigger gloves to be worn at all times on site. Full-body harnesses to be inspected before each use; any defective PPE removed from service immediately.

Sample shown for a fictional contractor — your own logo and reviewer sign-off appear on every document.

§ 06 — Who's behind it

Written by someone who's had RAMS bounced — and knows why.

Keystone wasn't built by a software founder bolting AI onto a generic SaaS. It was built by a NEBOSH-certified construction professional out of real frustration with documents that took half a day and still came back marked up. Every section, every default control measure and every Analyse rule comes from issuing RAMS on live UK sites — not from a prompt.

CASE STUDY — JERSEY STONEWORK & MASONRY

Switched from manual Word RAMS to Keystone. Issuing a pack went from half a day to under 30 minutes — and lifting plans stopped going out to consultants.

Before you start the trial.

Does Keystone replace my safety advisor?+

No — it makes their job faster. Your advisor reviews and signs off; Keystone removes the drafting and reformatting work that eats their week.

Can I bring my own risk assessments and method statements?+

Yes. Upload your existing library on day one — Keystone matches from it before generating anything new. Your wording, your judgements, kept intact.

Is it mobile-friendly for use on site?+

Yes — the full RAMS builder, Analyse and signup work on phone and tablet. Built for site offices and cabs, not just desks.

How do I stop someone going to site with an expired ticket?+

If an expired cert is still attached to an operative when you build a RAMS, Analyse flags it before the pack goes out. Email reminders at 90 / 30 / 0 days are coming soon.

My trade isn't on your specialist list — does it still work?+

Yes. The horizontal library covers most UK construction trades out of the box; bespoke library seeding for non-standard trades is included on the Team plan.

Stop rewriting RAMS. Start shipping them.
