RAMS for roofers: common questions

What hazards should a roofing RAMS cover?
Falls from edges and through fragile surfaces, dropped materials onto people below, and manual handling in exposed conditions. The construction library pre-fills working-at-height controls; add fragile-surface and edge-protection specifics for your roof.
Does it cover edge protection and fragile surfaces?
The height controls include edge protection and fall restraint where a fall is possible. Fragile-surface work needs site-specific controls (crawl boards, staging) — add these before briefing the RAMS.
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.
