RAMS, CPP & Site Documents for Window Fitters

Window fitting means working at height, handling heavy glass, and removing old frames that may contain lead paint or asbestos. Your RAMS need to cover all of it.

What You Get

Job-specific RAMS

Describe your job and get professional risk assessments covering glass handling injuries and other trade-specific hazards.

Construction Phase Plans

CDM 2015 compliant CPPs created from your job description. Covers management arrangements, risk control, welfare, and emergency procedures.

COSHH Assessments

Smart substance search and SDS upload. Pre-loaded with common window fitter substances like expanding pu foam (isocyanate exposure) and frame sealant.

Site Inductions

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 window fitters face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.

  • Glass handling injuries — cuts and lacerations from handling glass panels, and crush injuries from heavy sealed units (double/triple glazing can weigh 40kg+ per panel)
  • Working at height — upper-storey window installation from ladders, scaffolding, or MEWP access
  • Manual handling of heavy window and door units — composite doors weigh 60-80kg, large window units are awkward and heavy
  • Lead paint and asbestos putty in older properties — pre-1960s windows may have lead paint, and old glazing putty can contain asbestos
  • Falling objects — old window frames, glass panels, and tools dropped from height during removal and installation
  • Silicone sealant and expanding foam fume in confined spaces — particularly during internal sealing and finishing

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need RAMS as a window fitter?
Yes. Window installation involves working at height, manual handling of heavy and awkward units, glass handling risks, and potential asbestos and lead paint exposure when removing old frames. Under CDM 2015, these risks must be assessed for each job. Principal contractors, commercial clients, and increasingly domestic clients expect RAMS.
How long does it take to create RAMS for window fitting?
Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'replace 8 windows and 2 doors on a 1950s semi-detached, scaffold access to first floor' — and the AI generates RAMS covering glass handling, working at height, lead paint risk in older properties, and manual handling of window units.
Does The Site Book cover lead paint and asbestos in old windows?
Yes. The Site Book generates RAMS that flag lead paint risk in pre-1960s buildings and asbestos in old glazing putty. It references the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002 and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 where relevant, including control measures for safe removal, RPE requirements, and disposal procedures.

Why The Site Book

  • UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions (readable and acknowledgeable in 9 worker languages on Business, with the language audit-recorded) + worker sign-off, including optional 4-digit shared-link PIN evidence on Business, plus site attendance, portal users, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions.
  • Generate a site-specific RAMS first draft from a natural-language brief in under five minutes, ready for competent-person review - not a template library you hand-fill.
  • Controlled document workflow without an enterprise contract: version history and a recorded issue confirmation before a document is shared with a client or downloaded in the app on every plan, re-sign on revision with superseded signatures preserved plus PCPP import, cert tracking and document checking from the £39/month Pro plan - and on Business, optional named-approver routing (a designated approver accepts or rejects each version, with recorded reasons, before it can be issued) plus client approve/reject/request-changes via share links.
  • Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 10 management logins and 50 active site portal users. Worker document signing has no per-signature charge; project workers count as active portal users while assigned.
  • 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. Save a finished job as a reusable project template, or clone it, so the next job of the same shape starts from your own setup.
  • 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 covering documents, sign-offs, worker evidence, attendance, incidents, COSHH, permits and up to the latest 500 live Site Diary entries.
