[The builder asks about your site and rewrites the hazards and steps](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rams-builder?job=electrical). ## RAMS example questions **Are these real jobs?** No. Every job, company, person and address here is made up. Each one is a worked example written with our builder, and every page says so. **Can I use one as it is?** No. Your site, your people and your emergency arrangements will be different. Change it to fit your job before anyone works to it. **Why do they carry ComplyOnSite branding?** They are made with our builder and printed in its standard design. A RAMS you build yourself carries your company name. **Word or PDF?** Both. Word if you will change the wording yourself, PDF to read or print. Or press Use this and edit it in [the builder](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rams-builder?job=electrical), then download your own copy. **Where is the blank?** On the [RAMS template](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rams-template) page. These examples are all filled in. **How were they checked?** Each one is read against published guidance, mainly from HSE, for its facts, the order of the work and its emergency arrangements. The sources are listed beside it. If a document changes, it comes off this page until it has been checked again. The check covers the example, not your job.
