Valify is an AI-powered document review assistant built specifically for UK construction RAMS. Upload a document and get a structured, severity-ranked report in under 5 minutes — flagging every gap, missing section and cross-document inconsistency your team would otherwise have to find manually. Valify works alongside your team. Every flag it raises is a judgement call only your people can make.
Every RAMS document that lands on a health and safety manager's desk needs the same treatment: fifteen-plus sections read in full, cross-checked against each other, and judged against a standard that doesn't bend because it's document ninety of the month. In practice, that's 15 to 20 hours a week spent reading dense, repetitive compliance documents — time that could be spent on site, on training, or on the judgement calls that actually need a qualified human. Most teams don't have that time to spare, so review gets compressed into whatever gap is left in the day, usually at the exact point fatigue is highest.
And fatigue is the real enemy here, not competence. The tenth document of the day gets less scrutiny than the first — not because anyone is careless, but because sustained, section-by-section attention to dense technical text simply degrades over hours. A control measure that reads "take care and be aware of surroundings" gets waved through because there are nineteen more documents in the pile and the deadline was yesterday. That's not a training problem. It's a structural one — and it's exactly the kind of gap that surfaces during an HSE investigation, long after it would have been cheap and easy to fix.
A gap in a RAMS document isn't a paperwork problem. It's a real risk that carries real, escalating consequences once work starts on site.
A missed control measure that contributes to an incident doesn't just trigger scrutiny of that one document — it invites the HSE to examine every RAMS your business has produced, on every site, for as far back as they choose to look.
Investigators specifically look for exactly the kind of gap manual review under time pressure tends to miss: a hazard without a matching control, PPE doing the job engineering controls should have done, a vague instruction standing in for a specific one.
An auditor who finds one inadequate RAMS document on site rarely stops there — the standard response is to halt related works until every document in that category has been reviewed and corrected, which can take days, not hours.
Every trade waiting on that activity to finish sits idle in the meantime. On a live programme with multiple dependent trades, a single document gap can cascade into a delay measured in weeks, not days.
After any serious incident, the first documents a solicitor requests are the RAMS in place at the time. Gaps discovered there — inconsistencies between the hazard register and the control measures, or vague language where specificity was required — become the basis of the claim.
Directors carry personal exposure under the Health and Safety at Work Act. A documented gap that a reasonably thorough review should have caught is precisely the fact pattern that turns a site incident into a personal liability case.
Three steps, no setup, and a structured report before your coffee goes cold.
Drag a RAMS document — PDF or Word — into the upload zone. Add optional notes on anything site-specific you want checked with extra care. No templates, no formatting requirements, no setup.
All sections get checked individually against what a thorough reviewer looks for, then cross-checked against each other — hazards against scope, controls against hazards, PPE against controls, plant against the hazard register.
In under 5 minutes you get a report ranked Critical, Needs Attention and Minor, plus what the document already does well — with a section reference and the reasoning behind every flag, ready for your team to act on.
Site, client and principal contractor details are present, correct and consistent.
Activities described specifically enough to identify hazards against, not in vague generalities.
Named roles, qualifications and responsibilities for every person on the job.
Every item of plant in scope also appears in the hazard register.
Hazardous substances identified with COSHH assessments matching materials in scope.
Every hazard implied by the scope of works has a corresponding entry.
Likelihood and severity scored consistently, before and after controls.
Every hazard has a specific, actionable control — not a vague instruction.
PPE matches identified hazards and follows engineering controls, not replaces them.
Site-specific muster point, first aider and nearest hospital, not a generic template.
Noise, dust, waste and watercourse risks addressed with specific mitigations.
A defined process for briefing the document to every operative before work starts.
Correct, current regulations cited — not superseded guidance.
Every required signature present and dated before work is scheduled to start.
Revision history current and specific to this project, not a reused template.
Beyond checking each section individually, Valify cross-references the whole document — verifying that every hazard in Section 6 has a control measure in Section 8, that every item of plant in Section 4 appears in the hazard register, and that PPE requirements match the specific hazards identified rather than being applied generically.
Every scan sorts what it finds into four severity levels, so your team always knows where to look first.
Missing control measures for identified hazards, absent emergency procedures, or contradictions serious enough that the document isn't suitable for site until resolved.
Vague control measures, PPE standing in for engineering controls, or plant and materials that don't match across sections — weak points, not guaranteed failures.
Outdated revision history, superseded legislation references, or inconsistent numbering — not safety-critical, but worth tidying up on the next revision.
Sections that meet the standard in full are called out too — so your team can see what's already working, not just what isn't.
No section gets skipped because it "usually is fine." Here's exactly what Valify checks in each one.
Manual reviewers often skim this section assuming it's boilerplate — Valify checks it every time regardless.
A common miss: scope updated late in drafting while hazards still reference the old version.
Manual review often accepts job titles alone — Valify checks that named individuals actually appear.
Reviewers frequently miss plant added to scope after the hazard register was finalised.
A common gap: a material named in scope with no matching COSHH assessment anywhere.
Manual reviewers tend to check the list exists, not whether it matches the actual scope.
A frequent miss: residual risk scores left blank after control measures are added.
The most commonly missed gap of all — vague wording standing in for a specific action.
Reviewers often accept PPE lists without checking they follow engineering controls first.
A common miss: a muster point copied straight from a previous site's template.
Nearby watercourses are frequently missed when they sit just outside the site boundary.
Manual review rarely checks that briefing sign-off predates the actual start of work.
A common gap: guidance documents cited that were withdrawn or superseded years ago.
Reviewers often miss signatures dated after work was already scheduled to begin.
The easiest tell of a reused template — revision dates that don't match this project.
No made-up percentages — just the specific differences that matter.

On Starter, Valify reviews RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) documents specifically. Growth adds Method Statements and Risk Assessments submitted as standalone documents, and Enterprise extends coverage to all document types your team produces, including custom formats agreed with your account manager.
No, and it's not designed to. Valify is a document review assistant, not a replacement for qualified health and safety personnel. It performs the first, exhaustive read of every document and flags potential issues by severity — but every final decision on whether a document is adequate for use remains entirely with your team. That division of labour is permanent, not a stepping stone toward automation.
Valify is built to catch common and structural gaps — missing controls, inconsistent cross-references, vague language — but it does not guarantee completeness and should never be treated as a substitute for professional judgement. That's precisely why sign-off always sits with your qualified personnel: Valify makes the reading faster and more consistent, it does not make the decision for you.
Yes. Documents are encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ and encrypted at rest in Supabase Storage. Content is routed through OpenRouter to the AI model (currently Anthropic's Claude) strictly to generate your report — never used to train models — and are permanently deleted 90 days after upload. Access is restricted to the automated processing pipeline and a small number of authorised support staff.
You get 3 free document scans with no payment details collected at sign-up — one free trial per company. Once all 3 scans are used, your account pauses and you're prompted to choose a paid plan to continue reviewing documents.
Yes. Starter and Growth run on monthly rolling contracts, cancellable at any time from your account settings with no penalty, effective at the end of the current billing period. Enterprise runs on an annual contract agreed directly with your account manager.
PDF and Word (.doc/.docx) documents up to 50MB per file. If a single document exceeds 50MB, you can split it and upload multiple files together as one submission — Valify reviews them as a single document and returns one combined report. Any other file type is rejected immediately with a clear error message, as are zero-byte files that contain no actual content to review.
Most documents return a complete, structured report in under 5 minutes. Longer or unusually complex documents may take slightly more time, but you'll always see live progress on screen while the analysis runs.
Yes. Core health and safety legislation relevant to construction — including CDM 2015 — applies UK-wide, and Valify's checks reflect that. Valify is also used by teams in the US, Canada and Australia, with checks grounded in the same hierarchy-of-control principles that underpin best practice internationally.
RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement — a legally required document in UK construction that identifies the hazards associated with a piece of work and sets out the method by which that work will be carried out safely, including control measures, PPE and emergency procedures.
Yes. The upload flow, progress tracking and full report all work in any modern mobile browser, so you can start a scan or check on a result from site. For reading a long report in detail we'd still recommend a tablet or desktop screen, simply because RAMS documents are dense and easier to scan properly on a larger display.
Valify reads for content, not a fixed template — it identifies all sections wherever they appear and in whatever order or heading style your business uses, including documents with non-standard numbering, merged sections or company-specific formatting. If a section genuinely can't be located, it's flagged as missing rather than silently skipped.
No questions match your search. Try a different term.
Create an account, upload a document you're confident is clean or one you're not sure about, and see exactly what Valify finds — in under 5 minutes, with nothing charged to any card.
