Paste the scope and build a site-specific RAMS for plumbing works — hot works, confined spaces, Legionella (ACOP L8), water damage, isolations and pressure testing. Free to try.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the RAMS need to reference ACOP L8 for Legionella?
- Yes — Riskora cites ACOP L8 (Legionnaires' disease: The control of legionella bacteria in water systems) whenever the scope involves stored or distributed water, plus flushing / chlorination / sampling steps for disturbed systems.
- What about hot works?
- Riskora prompts for a hot work permit, fire watch duration, and alternative jointing (press-fit, compression) where soldering can be avoided — most principal contractors now require this justification in writing.
- Can it cover confined-space plant rooms?
- Yes — a separate method-step phase for entry permit, atmospheric testing (O₂, LEL, H₂S, CO), rescue plan and standby person, referencing the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997.
- Who needs to sign it off?
- A competent plumber — Riskora records the WaterSafe / CIPHE registered operative and, where hot works or confined-space entry apply, the named permit issuer.
