Dylan Squires

Background

Dylan Squires is a former Royal Engineers officer and holds the CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) qualification. In the Army he wrote and reviewed safe systems of work for high-risk operations and training.

After leaving the Army, Dylan founded Ramsgen because contractors were spending days writing generic RAMS by hand. Ramsgen applies the planning method he was trained in: study the ground, develop the options, and record what was ruled out and why. It produces site-specific Risk Assessment and Method Statements aligned to CDM 2015.

Expertise

• Writing and reviewing RAMS under CDM 2015 for notifiable projects in civil engineering, groundworks, scaffolding and specialist trades.
• Applying HSG47, HSG150, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, COSHH 2002 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
• Designing and auditing safe systems of work for confined space entry, lifting operations, hot works and demolition.
• Using AI to draft H&S documents that a competent person reviews and signs.

Speaking

Dylan spoke at Digital Construction Week 2026 on “Command & Control: Using the Combat Estimate to Master AI for H&S”: applying the Army's planning method to AI-drafted safety documents.

Ramsgen presented at the CECA Wales Quick Supplier Connect webinar for civil engineering contractors.
