Frequently asked questions
- What method statement steps should a plumbing job include?
- A typical plumbing method statement runs: site set-up and safe access → isolate water / gas / electrical supplies (and post warning notices) → drain down the affected section → remove existing pipework / fittings with appropriate PPE for hot works or asbestos in older properties → install new pipework / fittings using approved jointing methods → pressure-test (water) or tightness-test (gas) per WRAS / Gas Safe procedures → reinstate supplies, commission and check for leaks → tidy site, sign off and update the as-fitted records. Riskora's plumbing preset pre-fills this scaffold so you only tailor it to the actual job.
- Do I need a separate COSHH assessment for plumbing chemicals?
- Yes — flux, solvent cement, leak-detection sprays, pipe-cleaning chemicals, paint solvents and joint sealants are all COSHH-regulated. They should be listed in your COSHH section with hazard pictograms, exposure controls (ventilation, RPE where needed) and first-aid arrangements. Riskora's plumbing preset ships with the most common plumbing COSHH entries pre-filled — edit or remove the ones that don't apply.
- Can a self-employed plumber use this?
- Yes. Sole-trader plumbers and small plumbing firms are exactly who the Starter plan is built for — flat £29/mo, no per-user fees, no annual contract, with a free account. You'll be able to produce project-specific plumbing RAMS, COSHH sections and toolbox talks without needing a separate H&S consultant.
- Does the output meet Gas Safe and CDM 2015 expectations?
- Yes. The plumbing preset is aligned to CDM 2015 (project-specific RAMS shared before work starts), MHSWR 1999 (suitable and sufficient assessment), Gas Safe register procedures for gas work, and WRAS / Water Regs for potable water installations. The QA engine flags missing emergency arrangements, missing isolation controls and weak hazard descriptions before you sign off.
