How to review and accept a RAMS

This guide shows Approvers how to find RAMS waiting for review, check them and accept or return them to the Author. Every review is carried out by a person. Intuety does not accept RAMS automatically.

Who can use this?

Users with the Approver role who have been selected as a reviewer on the job.

Before you start

  • You have the Approver role.
  • You have access to the project containing the job.
  • The job has been submitted for review and shows Awaiting Review. If a contractor (a user from a supplier organisation working on another organisation's project) submitted it, they have already ticked the Contractor declaration to confirm their own internal review.

How do I find jobs waiting for my review?

  • On your dashboard, use the quick-jump button for jobs awaiting your review.
  • Check the Pending Reviews – Awaiting Your Review count in the stages bar, if shown.
  • You will also receive an email and an in-app notification when a job is sent to you.
  • Or go to Projects, open the project and look for jobs at Awaiting Review.

How do I review the RAMS?

  1. Open the job.
  2. Read the risk assessment, including the suggestions the Author accepted or rejected.
  3. Check the risks and control measures are suitable for the work.
  4. Review the method statement and check it is consistent with the risk assessment.
  5. Check attachments, lessons learned and any surfaced documentation.
  6. Leave comments on specific items where needed. See Comments and conversations.

How do I accept or return it?

  1. Open the action menu in the bottom-right corner (the green + button).
  2. Select Review. The Finalise Review panel opens on the right with your organisation's review form. See Building a custom review form.
  3. Complete the form, including your comments and the expiry date. If you are rejecting the RAMS, you do not have to complete the required fields. If you are not the primary reviewer, no fields are required.
  4. Select Accept to accept the RAMS, or Reject to return it to the Author with your comments. A rejected RAMS shows Returned in the job stages pipeline; the Status column may show Rejected.

An accepted RAMS moves to Accepted in the job stages pipeline and can be briefed to site teams. A returned RAMS goes back to the Author, who sees your comments and can upload a revision. The Author is notified by email either way.

What if there is more than one reviewer?

The primary reviewer makes the final accept or reject decision. Other reviewers add feedback. Once the primary reviewer has decided, the review is complete and no one else can review it, even if their review still shows as pending.

Common questions

  • I cannot see pending reviews: check you have the Approver role and access to the project.
  • I cannot see Review on a job: you have probably not been selected as a reviewer. Ask the Author or another reviewer to add you.
  • The RAMS is not ready for review: it may still be at Processing or Results Ready in the job stages pipeline and not yet submitted for acceptance.
  • What has the contractor confirmed? Before submitting, contractors (users from a supplier organisation) working on another organisation's project tick the Contractor declaration. It confirms the RAMS has been through their internal review and that they remain responsible for its content. See What is an Approver? (Link).
  • A reviewer has not acted: the Author can use the Nudge Reviewers widget, or contact them directly.
