Health & safety paperwork made simpler for roofing contractors
Whether you're replacing a domestic roof, fitting flat roofing systems, or managing larger commercial roofing projects, keeping health and safety paperwork organised is just as important as completing the work itself.
Ohutu helps roofing contractors create Construction Phase Plans (CPPs), RAMS, and essential site documents quickly, so you spend less time on paperwork and more time on what matters - delivering projects safely.

Roofing Work Changes Quickly. Your Paperwork Should Reflect This.
No two roofing projects are the same.
One week you're replacing tiles on a domestic property, the next you're carrying out emergency repairs after storm damage. Access arrangements, work at height controls, materials, and weather conditions can all change from project to project.
Health and safety paperwork still needs to be completed before work starts and updated whenever significant changes occur.
Ohutu helps you manage that process without relying on outdated templates or creating new documents from scratch every time.
Store your company details once, reuse key information across future projects, and keep your documents organised in one place.
What roofing contractors need to have in place
Roofing work presents some of the highest-risk activities in construction, such as fragile roof surfaces and falling materials, making good planning essential. On average, there are 50,000 non-fatal construction injuries per year in the UK, many of which come from roofing projects.
Therefore, before work begins, suitable health and safety arrangements should be documented and communicated to everyone involved.
Depending on the project, roofing contractors may need to prepare or contribute to documents such as:
-
Construction Phase Plans
-
Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS)
-
COSHH assessments
-
Site rules and emergency information
-
Site induction records
-
Accident and incident records

Why paperwork matters for roofing contractors
Health and safety paperwork isn't just about meeting your legal responsibilities. When it's organised and easy to update, it helps roofing projects run more smoothly from start to finish.
Whether you're working on domestic properties or larger commercial sites, having the right documentation in place can help you:
-
Meet your CDM responsibilities: Start every project with the right documentation in place. -
Protect your business: Keep records organised if questions arise later on.
-
Give clients confidence: Show that the job has been properly planned and that the right paperwork is in place.
-
Save administration time: Reuse information instead of rebuilding paperwork for every project.
Construction Phase Plans
Create professional Construction Phase Plans tailored to each roofing project, with clear arrangements for managing health and safety.
RAMS & method statements
Site setup & display documents
Site induction & mobile access
Revisions & reusable information
Custom documents & wider site records
Manage additional health and safety records including inspections, accident reports, and supporting project documentation within the same system.
Instead of juggling multiple folders and templates, everything stays together in one organised workspace.
Save time across repeat roofing projects
Many roofing companies carry out similar types of work week after week, from domestic roof repairs to flat roofing installations. Recreating the same health and safety paperwork for every job can quickly become a drain on your time.
Ohutu helps you work more efficiently by letting you reuse key information across future projects, including:
-
Company details and contact information
-
Emergency contacts
-
Standard working arrangements
-
Frequently used RAMS
-
Common hazards and control measures
-
Project templates and reusable site information

Built by a builder. Trusted across construction.
Ohutu was developed by a UK construction business owner with more than 35 years of industry experience.
It has been designed around the way construction businesses actually work, helping contractors spend less time producing paperwork and more time managing safe, productive sites.
Here’s what an Oxfordshire-based roofing customer has said:
"At Heritage Roofing we've recently used the Ohutu app to cover the Health and Safety of an upcoming project in central Oxford. I felt this was a perfect opportunity to test the app with how strict Health and Safety is especially when working in busy city centre locations.
Initial thoughts were how easy the app is to use, and by simply checking boxes and answering straightforward Health and Safety related questions, I had all relevant Health and Safety Documentation in place in under 20 minutes! (Completed with our company logo which I thought was a great and professional touch) This app is a real must for any contractor big or small within the construction industry. The amount of time and work you will save yourself really is amazing!"
