# What is an author?

An **Author** creates, uploads and improves Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), using Intuety to raise the quality, thoroughness and safety of their documents.

**What does an Author do?**

- Creates jobs and uploads RAMS (or creates them in Intuety with the document creation module).
- Receives suggestions for hazards, risks and control measures that may have been missed.
- Inserts, and can edit, Intuety's suggestions.
- Fixes inconsistencies between the RA and MS highlighted by the gap analysis.
- Sees relevant lessons learned, SOPs and safety documents.
- Leaves comments and holds conversations about the RA or MS.
- Attaches related images or files.
- Sends RAMS for acceptance and gets them accepted.
- Uploads quick, easy revisions at any point, with a complete audit trail.

**Who should be an Author?**

- For work you deliver yourselves: your site teams or whoever is responsible for writing RAMS.
- Where you use a supply chain: your subcontractors, who author RAMS for your review.
