Generate a UK-structured RAMS for tiling work — covering silica dust from cutting, adhesive and grout COSHH risks, kneeling MSDs, and wet-area slip hazards. Ready in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I really need RPE for tile cutting?
- Yes when dry cutting, and recommended even with wet cutting in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Wet cutting suppresses most respirable silica but a fine mist can still be generated, so FFP3 is the safe default for repetitive cutting.
- How does Riskora handle different adhesive products?
- The COSHH section lets you record the actual product brand, hazard pictograms and SDS reference. The default content covers cement-based and ready-mixed adhesives; epoxy systems are flagged with additional skin-sensitisation controls.
- What about underfloor heating cables under the tiles?
- The method statement includes a step for confirming UFH cables are isolated and protected during cutting and fixing. Damage to UFH during tiling is a common and expensive defect — the RAMS records the control.
- Will a principal contractor accept this RAMS for a Tier 1 site?
- Yes. The output is in the standard UK RAMS format with risk matrix, method statement, COSHH and PPE schedules. Most Tier 1 contractors will sign it off without amendment, and any specific site rules can be added before submission.
