RAMS for plasterers: common questions

What hazards should a plastering RAMS include?
Working at height (stilts, hop-ups, towers), dust from mixing and sanding, manual handling of plaster and boards, and skin/eye contact with materials. Start from the construction library and tailor the access method.
Does it cover working from stilts?
Height controls are pre-filled generally; stilts carry specific risks (uneven floors, obstructions) that need site-specific controls. Add these and brief them before work.
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.
