Built for Damp Proofing Contractors
RAMS, CPP & Site Documents for Damp Proofing Contractors
Damp proofing means working with chemical injection systems, tanking slurries, and excavating around foundations. Your RAMS need to cover substance exposure, confined spaces, and structural risks.

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks damp proofing contractors face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Chemical exposure — DPC injection fluids, tanking slurries, and timber treatments contain solvents and irritants requiring COSHH assessment
- Confined space working — basements, cellars, and underfloor voids have restricted access, poor ventilation, and potential for toxic atmosphere build-up
- Dust from drilling and chasing — drilling masonry for injection creates respirable dust including potential silica exposure
- Working near buried services — external excavation around foundations risks striking gas, water, or electrical services
- Structural instability — removing damp-damaged plaster, timbers, or masonry can expose or weaken structural elements
- Slips and trips — damp, wet working environments with poor lighting and uneven surfaces
Key Regulations & Standards
Building Regulations Part C (Site Preparation and Resistance to Contaminants and Moisture) and PCA Codes of Practice
Damp proofing work must comply with Building Regulations Part C for moisture resistance. Work should follow Property Care Association (PCA) codes of practice for DPC injection, structural waterproofing, and timber preservation. Installers handling chemical treatments must comply with COSHH Regulations, including exposure monitoring and health surveillance where required. CDM 2015 applies to all installation work, particularly basement tanking which involves confined space entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do damp proofing contractors need RAMS?
- Yes. Damp proofing involves chemical handling, drilling, confined space working (basements and underfloor voids), and sometimes excavation — all significant risk activities under CDM 2015. Your RAMS should cover COSHH assessments for the specific chemicals used, confined space entry procedures, and dust control measures.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for damp proofing work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'chemical DPC injection to ground floor walls of a Victorian terrace' — and the AI generates RAMS covering chemical handling, drilling dust, occupied property precautions, and waste disposal, specific to your project.
- Does The Site Book cover PCA standards and COSHH for damp proofing?
- Yes. The Site Book generates RAMS that reference PCA codes of practice and COSHH Regulations. It covers the specific control measures for DPC injection chemicals, tanking compounds, and timber treatments, including RPE selection, ventilation requirements, and skin protection.
Why The Site Book
- UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions (readable and acknowledgeable in 9 worker languages, with the language audit-recorded) + worker sign-off plus Business site attendance, portal users, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions.
- AI-generated documents are site-specific from a natural-language brief, not a template library you hand-fill - cuts writing a RAMS from 2 hours to under 5 minutes.
- Worker sign-off, PCPP import, cert tracking, and document checking sit on the £39/month Pro plan, not locked behind an enterprise contract.
- Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 5 internal team logins and 25 active site portal users.
- Build RAMS for any trade - add your own work types and method statements alongside the built-in library, reusable across projects, including a ready-made Commercial Solar PV group.
- COSHH goes deep: a standalone COSHH assessment document, upload-a-Safety-Data-Sheet extraction, a site-specific substance register and an expert-reviewed library - plus per-worker RAMS sign-off and a one-click Audit Pack that merges every compliance record into one PDF.
