Permits this work normally needs
The RAMS answers how the work is done safely; the permit authorises it in that place, on that day. This document cross-references:
Statutory basis, cited on the form
- CDM 2015 regs 22(4), 24 and 25(4) — excavation inspection and underground services
- HSWA 1974 s.2(2)(a)
- MHSWR 1999 regs 3 and 5
- Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
- COSHH 2002
Guidance and standards relied on
These are not law. HSE guidance carries no statutory force in itself, British Standards and NASC technical guidance are industry documents, and the Joint Code of Practice is an insurers' code. They are what the document is built to — and where a court would look for the standard of the reasonable contractor.
- HSE HSG47 (3rd edition, 2014 — avoiding danger from underground services)
What it is not
It is not a completed document and it is not health and safety advice. You must adapt it to your site and have a competent person complete and sign it off. See why we don't say "compliant".
