Private beta · regulated UK construction

RAMS written for this site, not the last one.

Upload the client's pre-construction pack. ProtechOS supports the drafting of the safe system of work, construction phase plan and COSHH from it, with gaps marked rather than guessed and citations checked against UK law. Your competent person reviews and approves, on a record nobody can edit afterwards.

The argument

Page 12 still says Manchester. The job is in Leeds.

Most method statements that reach a principal contractor were written for another job. The reviewer spots it in a minute and sends it back, and the start date moves with it. The ones that get through are worse: signed at 07:20 while the gang queues for the welfare, then filed as proof that everyone had the information.

Every section drafted from this site's facts; anything missing, marked.

Illustrative, not survey data.

What it holds to

Specific, grounded, defensible

Three properties a document needs before a competent person should put their name to it.

Specific

It asks before it drafts, and marks what it was not told

It reads the client's pack into activities and site facts, asks for what it still needs before drafting, and writes [TO CONFIRM by author] rather than a plausible guess.

Pack read, not retyped
Fact check before drafting
Gaps marked, never guessed

Grounded

Your wording. Citations checked against UK law.

Your hazard and hold-point wording, per-substance COSHH keyed to safety data sheets, seasonal hazards from thirty-year climate normals, and every legislation citation checked against a register.

Drafted from your libraries
Citations checked before approval
Weather from named sources

Defensible

A record you can hand over without wincing

A named person at every step, approval separate from authorship, hold points that freeze at approval, and an audit trail nobody can edit afterwards.

How it works

From the client's pack to an approved set

The work left for you is the work that needs judgement: confirming the facts, and signing the document.

Illustration: the pre-construction pack for a drainage connection in Leeds, uploaded and read into three suggested activities.

01
Give it the pack

Pre-construction information, phase plan, design and fire strategy. Read, not retyped.
Illustration: the fact check asks for site facts; rescue arrangements, not yet supplied, are marked to confirm by the author.

02
Answer the fact check

It asks for the site facts each document needs before it drafts. What it is not told stays marked.

What it produces

Twelve controlled documents. One set of facts.

Every document in the register is drafted from the same project context, so they agree with each other — the lifting plan and the method statement are describing the same lift.

The author does not approve their own work

The author cannot approve their own document. The two exceptions — an administrator override that needs a written reason, and a waiver for one-person organisations — are recorded as exactly that, never as independent approval.

The trail cannot be edited

Append-only. A trigger blocks update and delete — for your administrator and for us.

Every drafting call is kept

Instruction, model, response, timing. Replayable months later to explain why the document says what it says.

How the drafting works, and where accountability sits

Commitments

Your wording, your branding, your documents

Every document type on every plan. No document you are legally required to produce sits behind an upgrade.
Your branding, never ours. Logo, address, company number and contact details on every cover. Approval fixes them into the issued document.
You keep your documents. Export any document as a PDF, or everything your organisation holds, whenever you choose.

First-call questions

What people ask before they try it

Will a principal contractor accept a document produced this way?

No one can promise that; acceptance is the principal contractor's decision. What gets a submission returned is usually generic content written for another site. What leaves ProtechOS is drafted from this site's facts, marks anything unconfirmed, carries checked citations, and names the approver and the revision.

Does it write our documents for us?

It supports drafting them from your project facts and your own libraries. Your competent person reviews, edits and approves, and the author cannot approve their own document unless an exception is recorded with a reason. Accountability sits exactly where it does today; the difference is the draft is about this job rather than the last one.

What stops it inventing something?

It is not allowed to invent a site fact — anything it was not told is marked [TO CONFIRM by author] and listed for you. And every legislation citation is validated against a register of UK health and safety law before the document can be approved, so an invented regulation is flagged rather than published.

Can we use our own hazard wording and branding?

Yes. Your hazard bank, hold-point wording and standing clauses are supplied to the drafting step, so the output uses wording your clients have already accepted. Your logo, address and company details sit on every cover — never ours.

How long does a full pack take?

Core content on a safe system of work is readable in about a minute and the full document lands in a few minutes, with appendices arriving as they finish. A whole project runs as a queue with live progress. The real constraint is how fast you can answer the fact check — which is what makes the output specific.

What happens to our documents if we stop?

They stay yours. Documents export as PDF at any time, and an administrator can export everything the organisation holds, self-serve. Leaving does not cost you your records.
