Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks epc assessors face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Lone working — most domestic assessments are carried out alone in unfamiliar properties, including vacant and sometimes derelict buildings
- Loft access — inspecting loft insulation depth requires climbing into loft spaces via pull-down ladders, with risk of falls and ceiling collapse
- Slips, trips, and falls — cluttered, unfamiliar properties and construction sites present trip hazards, especially in poor lighting
- Asbestos exposure — older properties may contain asbestos in boiler flues, insulation, or textured coatings that assessors must identify and avoid disturbing
- Biological hazards — vacant properties may contain mould, rodent droppings, pigeon guano, or needles
- Construction site hazards — new-build assessments expose assessors to active site risks including falling objects, open excavations, and moving plant
Key Regulations & Standards
Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 and Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)
EPC assessors must be accredited through an approved scheme (Elmhurst, Stroma, ECMK, etc.) and hold a valid Level 3 or Level 4 Domestic/Non-Domestic Energy Assessment qualification. Assessments must comply with the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 and the SAP/SBEM calculation methodology. When working on construction sites, assessors are treated as contractors under CDM 2015 and must comply with site rules, inductions, and PPE requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do EPC assessors need RAMS?
- It depends on the context. For routine domestic assessments, RAMS are not always required but are good practice — especially for lone working procedures. However, if you are assessing a property on an active construction site, the principal contractor will require your RAMS before allowing you on site. Commercial assessments in large buildings may also require RAMS for plant room and rooftop access.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for EPC assessment work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'domestic EPC assessment in a 1970s mid-terrace, including loft inspection' — and the AI generates RAMS covering lone working, loft access, asbestos awareness, and property-specific hazards.
- Why would an EPC assessor need a Construction Phase Plan?
- If you are carrying out assessments on new-build sites as part of the handover process, you are working on a construction site under CDM 2015. Some principal contractors require all visitors — including assessors — to demonstrate their own safety management. A lightweight CPP from The Site Book shows you take safety seriously and meets site access requirements.
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.
