Paste the scope and build a site-specific RAMS for electrical installation — isolation, LOTO, live working dispensation, temporary power, cable routing, testing and competence.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the RAMS need to reference HSG85 and EAWR 1989?
- Yes — Riskora cites HSG85 (Electricity at Work — safe working practices) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, plus BS 7671 as the installation standard.
- What about live working?
- Live working should be exceptional. Riskora prompts for the written dispensation, the justification (unreasonable to isolate), and the additional controls — insulated tools, mats, second person, PPE.
- Can it cover testing and commissioning?
- Yes — a separate method-step phase for test, inspect, commission and certificate handover (EICR / minor works / installation certificate) with calibrated test equipment recorded.
- Who needs to sign it off?
- An approved electrician or qualified supervisor — Riskora records the JIB ECS Gold card holder responsible for the works.
