Your review appears here
The checker looks for site detail, the controls your trade is judged on, competence and emergency arrangements in the wording you paste.
What does this checker do?
Every finding names the rule behind it: SG4:22 for a scaffolder's own fall protection, reg 9 for fragile surfaces, HSG85 for safe isolation. You tick the conditions on your job and only those checks run.
Know its limit
CircuitRAMS cannot inspect the site, test whether controls are suitable or guarantee acceptance. Revise the assessment when the work changes.
