No card needed · Used by UK plumbers · CDM 2015 compliant
Built for Plumbers
Real work, real hazards. Here are examples of what The Site Book creates RAMS for:
Bathroom installations
Hot and cold pipework, waste connections, sanitary ware fixing — covers manual handling of cast iron baths, working in confined spaces, and soldering near combustibles.
Boiler replacements
Draining down systems, flue installation, gas pipework modifications — covers gas safety, working at height for flue routes, and asbestos risk around old boiler flues.
Underfloor heating installations
Manifold installation, pipe laying in screed, pressure testing — covers manual handling of screed materials, kneeling for extended periods, and working with adhesives.
Commercial pipework
Large-bore copper and steel pipework, plant room work, hot water systems — covers hot work permits, working at height on pipe runs, and scalding risks.

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks plumbers face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Scalding from hot water systems — pressurised systems, unvented cylinders, and heating circuits
- Soldering and brazing near combustible materials — fire risk from blowtorches on timber frames and insulation
- Manual handling of heavy items — cast iron baths, radiators, cylinders, and long lengths of copper pipe
- Working in confined spaces — under floors, in ceiling voids, and in plant rooms
- Legionella risk when working on stored water systems, particularly in commercial settings
- Asbestos exposure — old pipe lagging, boiler flue seals, and tank insulation in pre-2000 buildings
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a plumber?
- Yes. If you work on commercial sites or under a principal contractor, you will need RAMS for every job. Even on domestic work, RAMS are expected by many clients and are best practice under CDM 2015. Plumbing work involves real hazards — hot work near combustibles, scalding risks, manual handling — and your RAMS should address these specifically.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for plumbing work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'boiler replacement in a 3-bed semi with an external flue' — and the AI creates RAMS covering hot work, gas safety references, manual handling, and all relevant control measures.
- Does The Site Book cover Water Regulations and Building Regs Part G?
- The Site Book covers the health and safety aspects of plumbing work under CDM 2015. It references relevant standards like the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and Building Regulations Part G where they affect safe working practices, such as unvented hot water system safety and Legionella prevention. It does not replace your plumbing certifications or Building Control notifications.
