Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks fencing contractors face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Striking buried services when digging post holes — gas, electricity, water, and telecoms can be at shallow depth, especially near boundaries
- Manual handling of heavy posts, panels, and concrete — timber posts, concrete posts, and palisade panels are heavy and awkward to handle
- Power tool injuries — post hole borers, chainsaws, circular saws, and nail guns
- Working near highways and public areas — risk of vehicle strikes and pedestrian interaction
- Cement and concrete burns — mixing concrete for post foundations in direct skin contact
- Lone working in remote locations — agricultural and boundary fencing often involves working alone in isolated areas

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a fencing contractor?
- Yes. Fencing work involves digging post holes (with the risk of striking buried services), manual handling of heavy materials, and power tool use. Under CDM 2015, these risks must be assessed for each job. Commercial clients, housing developers, and councils will require RAMS before you start on site.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for fencing work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, '40m close-board fence on a new housing estate boundary' — and the AI generates RAMS covering buried services, manual handling, concrete mixing, and power tool use, specific to your job.
- Does The Site Book cover buried services and HSG47?
- Yes. The Site Book generates RAMS that reference HSG47 (Avoiding Danger from Underground Services), including the requirement for CAT and Genny scanning before digging, hand-dig zones around known services, and the need to check service records before starting work. This is critical for fencing work where post holes are dug along boundaries where services are commonly routed.
Why The Site Book
- UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions (readable and acknowledgeable in 9 worker languages on Business, with the language audit-recorded) + worker sign-off, including optional 4-digit shared-link PIN evidence on Business, plus site attendance, portal users, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions.
- Generate a site-specific RAMS first draft from a natural-language brief in under five minutes, ready for competent-person review - not a template library you hand-fill.
- Controlled document workflow without an enterprise contract: version history and a recorded issue confirmation before a document is shared with a client or downloaded in the app on every plan, re-sign on revision with superseded signatures preserved plus PCPP import, cert tracking and document checking from the £39/month Pro plan - and on Business, optional named-approver routing (a designated approver accepts or rejects each version, with recorded reasons, before it can be issued) plus client approve/reject/request-changes via share links.
- Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 10 management logins and 50 active site portal users. Worker document signing has no per-signature charge; project workers count as active portal users while assigned.
- 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. Save a finished job as a reusable project template, or clone it, so the next job of the same shape starts from your own setup.
- 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 covering documents, sign-offs, worker evidence, attendance, incidents, COSHH, permits and up to the latest 500 live Site Diary entries.
