RAMS, CPP & Site Documents for Kitchen Fitters
Kitchen fitting involves heavy lifting, power tools, electrical and plumbing connections, and working in occupied homes. Your RAMS should reflect the real scope of the work.
No card needed · Used by UK kitchen fitters · CDM 2015 compliant
Built for Kitchen Fitters
Real work, real hazards. Here are examples of what The Site Book creates RAMS for:
Full kitchen installations
Strip-out, plumbing, electrics, units, worktops, tiling — covers multiple trade coordination, manual handling of worktops, and working in occupied properties.
Kitchen strip-out and disposal
Removing old units, appliances, and services — covers asbestos in older kitchens (floor tiles, textured coatings), disconnection of gas and electrics, and waste disposal.
Worktop installation
Granite, quartz, and solid surface worktops — covers manual handling of heavy slabs (up to 100kg+), silica dust from cutting, and adhesive fume.
Appliance connection and commissioning
Gas cooker connection, electrical appliance wiring, plumbing to dishwashers and washing machines — covers gas safety, electrical isolation, and water connection procedures.

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks kitchen fitters face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Manual handling of heavy worktops — granite and quartz worktops weigh 40-100kg+ and require team lifting or mechanical aids
- Silica dust from cutting quartz and stone worktops — respirable crystalline silica is a serious long-term health risk
- Power tool injuries — circular saws, jigsaws, and routers used for cutting worktops and unit modifications
- Electrical and gas work — connection of appliances requires competent persons (Part P, Gas Safe) and isolation procedures
- Asbestos in older properties — floor tiles, textured coatings, and pipe lagging disturbed during strip-out
- Working in occupied homes — dust and noise control, maintaining safe access for homeowners, and protecting existing finishes
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a kitchen fitter?
- Yes. Kitchen fitting is construction work under CDM 2015. It involves manual handling of heavy worktops, power tool use, and potentially gas and electrical work. If you are working under a principal contractor or for a commercial client, RAMS will be required. Even on domestic jobs, RAMS demonstrate professionalism and that you have planned for the risks.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for kitchen fitting?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'full kitchen installation in a 1960s bungalow including gas cooker connection' — and the AI generates RAMS covering manual handling, asbestos risk in older properties, gas safety, and all relevant control measures.
- Does The Site Book cover gas and electrical connection requirements?
- The Site Book covers the health and safety aspects of gas and electrical connections under CDM 2015 — including isolation procedures, competent person requirements, and safe working practices. It references Part P of the Building Regulations for electrical work and Gas Safe requirements for gas appliance connections. It does not replace the certifications themselves.
