Paste the job and build a site-specific RAMS for school maintenance — safeguarding, DBS, pupil exclusion zones, asbestos register, working hours, fire alarm isolation and sign-off.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is the asbestos register so important?
- Most schools built before 2000 contain asbestos. The register tells you where; the RAMS must show you've reviewed it before any intrusive work.
- Do operatives need DBS?
- If working in term time around pupils, yes — enhanced DBS is the norm. Riskora records each operative's DBS reference.
- Can the work be in term time at all?
- Yes — with exclusion zones, escort and signage. Riskora prompts you to justify term-time work vs out-of-hours.
- Fire alarm isolation?
- Schools have specific fire plans. The RAMS records the alarm isolation permit, the affected zones and the reinstatement check.
