Work at height assessments your engineers actually complete
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 want a written assessment before anyone leaves the ground. Gaffer puts one on the job — access method, maximum height, edge protection, rescue plan and the competent person — so it is done on site instead of reconstructed afterwards.
Part of health & safety in Gaffer, which replaces a folder of last year’s templates with the dates changed.
The H&S paperwork gets done because it lives where the work is.
Risk assessments, method statements, permits, toolbox talks, inspections and registers, covering what an inspector, a main contractor or an insurer will ask for.
Win tenders that demand evidence, and sleep better knowing the file is complete.
Work at height assessments are one of the 40 things in health & safety. See the rest →
- Access method and maximum working height captured in metres
- Edge protection required vs. in place tracked separately, so gaps are visible
- Rescue plan and permit-to-work status recorded before work starts
- Competent person and equipment-inspected confirmations
- PPE list, control measures, equipment list and the workers covered
- Weather check and conditions on the day, plus emergency procedure and risk level
Step 04 of the job: on site
The engineer taps “On my way” and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.
Health & Safety is where work at height assessments sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

Will this satisfy a main contractor asking for RAMS?
It produces the document they ask for, specific to the job rather than last year’s with the address changed, as a PDF you can send before you arrive. Their pre-qualification questions are their own, but the evidence is in one place.
Do the assessments have to be filled in on site?
That is the point of them, and the app is built for it — but they can be prepared in the office and signed on site, which is how most crews actually work.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Work at height assessments is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
