RAMS, CPP & Site Documents for Gas Engineers
Gas work is already heavily regulated by Gas Safe. But CDM compliance is separate — and principal contractors still want RAMS that cover the construction site hazards of your work.
No card needed · Used by UK gas engineers · CDM 2015 compliant
Built for Gas Engineers
Real work, real hazards. Here are examples of what The Site Book creates RAMS for:
Boiler installations and replacements
Combi, system, and conventional boiler fitting — covers gas pipework, flue installation, electrical connections, and asbestos around old boilers.
Commercial gas pipework
Industrial and commercial gas installations — covers large-bore pipework, purging procedures, and work in plant rooms.
Gas main connections and meter work
New gas connections, meter installations, and governor changes — covers excavation near services, live gas exposure, and work in public areas.
Gas appliance servicing
Annual servicing of boilers, fires, and cookers — covers carbon monoxide risk, flue gas analysis, and lone working in domestic properties.
What You Get
Job-specific RAMS

Digital induction sign-offs for every worker on site. Linked to your CPP and site rules. Works on any phone or tablet.
Worker & subcontractor tracking
Track certifications, insurance, and CSCS cards. Get alerts before documents expire. One view for all your workers.
Digital document sharing
Share your full document pack with clients, principal contractors, or inspectors via a secure read-only link. No login needed on their end.
Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks gas engineers face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Gas escape and explosion — working on live gas pipework carries the risk of uncontrolled gas release and ignition
- Carbon monoxide exposure — faulty appliances, blocked flues, and incomplete combustion produce CO, which is odourless and potentially fatal
- Burns from hot pipework, soldering, and contact with hot appliance components
- Asbestos — old boiler flue seals, pipe lagging, and boiler cupboard linings in pre-2000 properties
- Working in confined spaces — plant rooms, boiler cupboards, and ceiling voids with poor ventilation
- Lone working — domestic gas servicing often involves working alone in customers' homes
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a gas engineer?
- Yes. Being Gas Safe registered covers your competence to work on gas — but CDM 2015 compliance is separate. On construction sites, principal contractors require RAMS that cover the specific hazards of your gas work on that site, including gas escape procedures, hot work, working at height for flue installations, and asbestos exposure in older buildings.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for gas work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'combi boiler replacement in a 1970s mid-terrace with external flue' — and the AI generates RAMS covering gas isolation, flue installation at height, asbestos risk in older properties, and all relevant control measures.
- Does The Site Book cover Gas Safe and GSIUR?
- The Site Book covers the health and safety aspects of gas work under CDM 2015 and references the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 where they affect safe working practices on site. It does not replace your Gas Safe registration, gas work notifications, or certification. What it does is ensure your RAMS properly address gas-specific hazards alongside general construction risks.
