Stop spending your evenings writing RAMS. Create professional risk assessments, method statements, and CPPs for electrical work in minutes.
No card needed · Used by UK electricians · CDM 2015 compliant
Built for Electricians
Real work, real hazards. Here are examples of what The Site Book creates RAMS for:
First fix wiring
Cable routing through timber and steel frames, notching joists, fire stopping at compartment walls — covers cable damage, service strikes, and fire spread risks.
Consumer unit upgrades
Isolation procedures, live testing requirements, asbestos risk in older consumer unit backboards — covers arc flash, electric shock, and asbestos exposure.
Commercial rewires
Phased isolation in occupied buildings, temporary supplies, containment installation at height — covers working at height, live working, and coordination with other trades.
EV charger installations
External cable routing, ground-level excavation for ducting, mounting at height — covers buried services, manual handling of charger units, and wet weather working.

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks electricians face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Electric shock and arc flash during live testing and fault finding
- Cable routing through walls and floors — risk of striking hidden services (gas, water, existing cables)
- Working in confined spaces such as risers, ceiling voids, and plant rooms
- Asbestos exposure in older buildings — consumer unit backboards, cable trunking routes, ceiling tiles
- Working at height for containment runs, ceiling fixtures, and external installations
- Manual handling of cable drums, distribution boards, and heavy switchgear
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as an electrician?
- Yes, particularly on commercial sites and when working under a principal contractor. CDM 2015 requires risk assessments for all construction work, and most principal contractors will not let you on site without trade-specific RAMS. Even on domestic work, RAMS demonstrate that you have thought through the risks — especially important for notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for electrical work?
- With The Site Book, under 5 minutes. Describe the job — for example, 'consumer unit upgrade in a 1970s semi' — and the AI generates RAMS covering electrical isolation, live testing, asbestos risk in older properties, and all relevant control measures. Without it, writing RAMS from scratch typically takes 1-2 hours per job.
- Does The Site Book cover BS 7671 and Part P requirements?
- The Site Book covers the health and safety aspects of electrical work under CDM 2015, including references to BS 7671 safe isolation procedures and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. It does not replace your electrical certification (EICRs, minor works certificates) — those are separate compliance documents. What it does is ensure your RAMS and CPP properly address electrical hazards and reference the correct standards.
