Frequently asked questions
- Do plumbers need RAMS?
- On any construction site, yes. Principal contractors require RAMS from every trade, including plumbing. Even on domestic projects, RAMS demonstrate competence and are increasingly expected by clients and insurance providers.
- What about Gas Safe work?
- Gas work requires additional documentation beyond a standard RAMS. Your RAMS should reference Gas Safe registration, confirm that only Gas Safe registered engineers will work on gas systems, and include gas-specific emergency procedures.
- Do I need a hot work permit?
- On most construction sites, yes. Hot work (soldering, brazing) typically requires a hot work permit from the principal contractor, in addition to the RAMS. Your RAMS should reference the hot work permit system and describe fire prevention measures.
- How does Riskora handle plumbing RAMS?
- Riskora includes presets for plumbing and pipework installation covering domestic, commercial, heating, and waste systems. Each preset generates relevant hazards including hot work, COSHH, manual handling, and water hygiene controls.
