What nail gun controls should be in my RAMS?

Include sequential trigger mode, never bypass the contact safety, clear line of fire, keep the gun pointed away from people, and secure storage when not in use.

What dust and RPE requirements should I document?

Reference the WEL (Workplace Exposure Limit) for wood dust (5 mg/m³ for softwood, 1 mg/m³ for hardwood). Include dust extraction, RPE type (FFP2 minimum), and COSHH assessment.

How do I write method steps for a kitchen fit-out?

Break it into phases: set out from drawings, fix wall units to battens, install base units, cut and fit worktops, hang doors. RAMS Builder includes this sequence pre-loaded.
