Built for Scaffolders
RAMS, CPP & Site Documents for Scaffolders
Scaffolding is high-risk, high-regulation work. Your RAMS need to demonstrate competence with TG20, SG4, and the Work at Height Regulations — not generic fall protection wording.
No card needed · Used by UK scaffolders · CDM 2015 compliant

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks scaffolders face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Falls from height during erection and dismantling — scaffolders work at the leading edge before guardrails are in place
- Scaffold collapse — overloading, inadequate ties, missing bracing, and unauthorised modifications by other trades
- Manual handling of heavy components — steel tubes, fittings, and boards lifted and carried at height
- Falling objects — tubes, fittings, and boards dropped from height onto workers and the public below
- Crush injuries from tubes and components during handling, storage, and erection
- Contact with overhead power lines during erection and dismantling of scaffolding near buildings

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a scaffolder?
- Yes, and your RAMS must be detailed. Scaffolding is classified as high-risk work under CDM 2015 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Clients and principal contractors will expect RAMS that demonstrate your understanding of TG20, SG4 erection procedures, and the specific risks of each scaffold configuration. A generic template is not sufficient.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for scaffolding work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'independent tied scaffold to a 3-storey Victorian terrace for re-roofing' — and the AI generates RAMS covering erection sequence, tie pattern, loading, fall protection, and the handover procedure, specific to your configuration.
- Does The Site Book cover TG20 and SG4?
- Yes. The Site Book generates RAMS that reference NASC guidance TG20 (for design and loading) and SG4 (for erection and dismantling procedures). It covers the hierarchy of fall protection for scaffolders, tie spacing requirements, inspection schedules under the Work at Height Regulations, and handover documentation requirements.
Where it helps and where it doesn't
Pros
- RAMS builder covers erection, alteration and dismantling method sequences
- Handover certificate and scaffold tag log generated per inspection
- Worker CISRS card expiry tracked with automatic alerts
- Weekly inspection reminders baked into the site diary
Cons
- No NASC TG20 compliance calculator — design calcs still manual
- Scaffold-specific inspection form not yet CISRS-branded
- No integration with scaffold-hire ERP systems (Avontus, etc.)
Why The Site Book
- UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions (readable and acknowledgeable in 9 worker languages, with the language audit-recorded) + worker sign-off plus Business site attendance, portal users, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions.
- AI-generated documents are site-specific from a natural-language brief, not a template library you hand-fill - cuts writing a RAMS from 2 hours to under 5 minutes.
- Worker sign-off, PCPP import, cert tracking, and document checking sit on the £39/month Pro plan, not locked behind an enterprise contract.
- Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 5 internal team logins and 25 active site portal users.
- 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.
- 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 that merges every compliance record into one PDF.
