RAMS for electricians: common questions

What hazards should an electrician's RAMS cover?
At minimum: electric shock and safe isolation (isolate, lock off, prove dead), striking concealed cables or pipes, working at height for high-level work, and fire risk. The generator pre-fills these from the electrical hazard library so you start from a real assessment, not a blank page.
Does it reference safe isolation and BS 7671?
The electrical method statement includes safe isolation steps (lock off, prove dead with a GS38 voltage indicator and proving unit) and completing work to BS 7671. Edit it to match your specific job before you brief it.
Is this RAMS generator free?
Yes — you can create RAMS documents on the free plan with a small footer credit. Upgrading removes the footer, unlocks the full hazard library and your branding, and saves your hazard libraries so the next one takes minutes.
Does this guarantee I'm compliant?
No — and be wary of any tool that claims it does. It gives you a professional, well-structured starting point built from common trade hazards. You must review and adapt every RAMS to your actual site, and a competent person must approve it before work begins.
Will a principal contractor accept it?
The document follows the standard RAMS structure principal contractors expect — scope, risk assessment with a 5×5 matrix, method statement, PPE, emergency arrangements and an operative sign-off sheet. As with any RAMS, the contractor reviews and approves it against their site.
