Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about plasterer RAMS
What dust controls should a plasterer RAMS include?
Include RPE type (FFP3 for silica-containing plaster), wet cutting methods, ventilation and LEV where possible, and COSHH assessment for plaster products.
Do I need to mention RPE in my RAMS?
Yes — RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) is a key control for plaster dust. Specify the RPE face-fit tested for the operative and the protection factor required.
How do I assess manual handling for lifting plasterboard?
Apply the TILE assessment (Task, Individual, Load, Environment). Standard plasterboard weighs 10–32 kg depending on size and type — specify two-person lifts for boards over 20 kg.
