RAMS, CPP & Site Documents for Flooring Contractors
Adhesive fumes, dust from screeding and sanding, and hours on your knees. Flooring work has real health risks that your RAMS need to address properly.
No card needed · Used by UK flooring contractors · CDM 2015 compliant
Built for Flooring Contractors
Real work, real hazards. Here are examples of what The Site Book creates RAMS for:
Vinyl and LVT installation
Sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl tile, and safety flooring — covers adhesive fume exposure, subfloor preparation dust, and kneeling strain.
Carpet fitting
Gripper installation, underlay, and carpet stretching — covers nail gun and knee kicker injuries, dust from old floor removal, and manual handling of carpet rolls.
Hardwood and engineered floor installation
Solid and engineered timber floors — covers wood dust from cutting and sanding, adhesive fume, and nail gun injuries.
Resin and epoxy flooring
Industrial and commercial resin floors — covers toxic fume exposure from two-part resins, skin sensitisation, and the need for forced ventilation.

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks flooring contractors face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Adhesive fume exposure — flooring adhesives, primers, and DPMs release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in poorly ventilated spaces
- Silica and general dust from floor preparation — grinding, shot-blasting, and screed removal generate high dust levels
- Musculoskeletal injuries from prolonged kneeling and working at floor level — chronic knee damage is an occupational disease for floor layers
- Two-part resin and epoxy exposure — isocyanate-containing products cause occupational asthma and skin sensitisation
- Nail gun and staple gun injuries — powered tools used for gripper, underlay, and timber floor fixing
- Manual handling of heavy rolls — carpet, vinyl, and underlay rolls can weigh 30-60kg
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a flooring contractor?
- Yes. Flooring work involves daily exposure to adhesive fumes, dust from floor preparation, and prolonged kneeling. These are significant health hazards under CDM 2015. On commercial sites, RAMS will be required before you start. Even on domestic work, RAMS are best practice — particularly for resin flooring where fume exposure is a serious risk.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for flooring work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'LVT installation throughout a 2-bed flat, concrete subfloor' — and the AI generates RAMS covering adhesive fume exposure, subfloor preparation dust, kneeling strain, and manual handling of material rolls.
- Does The Site Book cover adhesive and resin fume exposure?
- Yes. The Site Book generates RAMS and COSHH assessments that specifically address flooring adhesive, primer, and resin fume exposure under COSHH Regulations 2002. It covers VOC exposure limits, ventilation requirements, RPE selection, and the specific hazards of isocyanate-containing products used in resin flooring.
