What are RAMS for plumbers?

RAMS, which initially stood for Risk Assessment Method Statement in the context of health and safety, has also evolved to encompass COSHH assessments. Today, some contractors use RAMS to refer to subcontractors' comprehensive Health and Safety package.

RAMS is a critical document delineating the necessary steps for safely executing a specific task or activity. It aims to identify potential hazards and the control measures needed to address them, effectively serving as a roadmap for maintaining a safe working environment.

Within RAMS, Risk Assessments play a vital role by pinpointing potential hazards present in the workplace and evaluating the likelihood and severity of associated risks. Method Statements complement this by detailing the safe working procedures required for a task, including step-by-step instructions designed to mitigate the identified risks.

Additionally, COSHH Assessments focus on evaluating the potential dangers and the appropriate handling procedures for specific substances, such as flux paste. Together, these components ensure that safety is prioritised in all work activities.

Risks within the plumbing and gas fitting industry

It is essential to highlight that working on properties built before 2000 carries a significant risk of disturbing asbestos-containing materials. Plumbers and gas fitters, in particular, must be vigilant about this possible risk, as asbestos is a common material used for fire-stopping and heat insulation. In the past, it was standard practice to use asbestos cement backboards for boilers, line airing cupboards with asbestos cement panels, and spray asbestos insulation on heating pipes.

It is critical to avoid disturbing asbestos, as the release of particles can go unnoticed by victims, and the consequences can be devastating. The severity of disturbing asbestos and the reporting methods can deter tradespeople from reporting accidental releases. Therefore, taking all necessary precautions and following the correct procedures when working with asbestos is essential.

Apart from the dangers of asbestos exposure, plumbers and gas fitters are also at risk of developing occupational diseases from exposure to solvents, adhesives, biological waste, and lead from removing or working with old pipework. Additionally, these professionals are exposed to construction hazards such as hand-arm vibration, falls from height, working in confined spaces, manual handling, repetitive strain injuries, hand injuries, eye injuries, and hearing loss. Taking the necessary precautions to prevent these risks and ensure safety while working is crucial.
