Generate a UK-structured RAMS for flooring installation — vinyl, LVT, carpet, screed and resin floors. Covers adhesive COSHH, isocyanate exposure, kneeling MSDs and substrate preparation hazards.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need RPE for PU adhesive work?
- Almost always. PU adhesives release isocyanates during cure, particularly in warm or unventilated spaces. The default control is mechanical ventilation plus FFP3 RPE; an air-fed hood is required for prolonged exposure or large-area resin pours.
- How does Riskora handle two-part resin floor systems?
- There's a dedicated section for two-part systems covering mixing controls, pot-life, skin-sensitisation controls (chemical-resistant gloves, no skin contact), and re-entry timing. The COSHH portion records both Part A and Part B hazards.
- What about substrate preparation by grinding?
- Substrate grinding is treated as a separate operation with RCS dust controls — typically diamond grinding with on-tool extraction or wet grinding, plus FFP3 RPE. The RAMS lists this as a distinct method step with its own controls.
- Will this be accepted on a school or healthcare fit-out?
- Yes. The RAMS includes a re-entry-timing section critical for occupied-building work, and the ventilation plan addresses the typical concerns of estates teams in healthcare and education settings.
