Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks fire alarm engineers face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Electric shock — working on mains-powered fire alarm panels, emergency lighting, and interconnected systems
- Working at height — fire detectors and emergency lights are typically mounted on ceilings, requiring ladders, scaffolds, or MEWP access
- Working in ceiling voids and risers — confined spaces with poor lighting, exposed services, and potential asbestos
- Dust disturbance — drilling into ceilings and walls for cable routes can disturb dust, asbestos, and other contaminants
- Working in occupied buildings — hospitals, care homes, schools, and offices where system isolation affects life safety
- Lone working — maintenance visits are often carried out by a single engineer in unfamiliar buildings

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a fire alarm engineer?
- Yes. Fire alarm work involves electrical hazards, working at height, and work in occupied buildings where system isolation has life safety implications. Principal contractors and building managers will require RAMS before you start work. On maintenance contracts, your RAMS should cover the routine risks of accessing detectors, working in ceiling voids, and lone working.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for fire alarm work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'addressable fire alarm installation in a 3-storey office building' — and the AI generates RAMS covering electrical safety, working at height for detector installation, ceiling void work, and coordination with the building occupants.
- Does The Site Book cover BS 5839 requirements?
- The Site Book covers the health and safety aspects of fire alarm work under CDM 2015. It references BS 5839-1 where relevant to safe working practices — for example, system isolation procedures during maintenance and the safety implications of disabling zones in occupied buildings. It does not replace your fire alarm design and commissioning certificates.
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.
