RAMS for heating engineers: common questions

What should a heating engineer's RAMS include?
Hot works and fire watch, water isolation and drain-down, working in cramped boiler and airing cupboards, and legionella on stored hot water. Any gas work must be by a Gas Safe registered engineer — note that in the scope.
Does it mention Gas Safe?
The scope references Gas Safe registration for gas work. This tool covers the health-and-safety RAMS; gas safety certification is separate and must be done by a registered engineer.
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.
