Why you need it on the job
Writing a roofing RAMS from a blank page for every job burns hours and still leaves gaps. Starting from a document that already carries the trade’s hazards and their scoring means you only add the site-specific detail before it goes to the principal contractor.
How it links to the standards
The equipment and controls this template asks you to record are governed by published standards that define what each item must withstand and how it is tested. These are the ones that apply most directly:
- EN 361 — full body harnesses
- EN 795 — anchor devices
- EN 360 — retractable fall arresters
- EN 397 — industrial safety helmets
The full EN standards library covers every standard referenced across SafetyOrbit.

Frequently asked questions
How much editing does it need before I can issue it?
Add the site address, the access arrangements, the roof construction and anything the survey found. The hazard and control sections are already written.
Does it cover torch-on work?
Yes. Fire controls for torch-on roofing are included, along with the fire watch that has to continue after the torch is switched off.
