Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks bricklayers face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Manual handling injuries — bricklayers lift and place thousands of bricks and blocks per week, leading to chronic back, shoulder, and wrist injuries
- Cement dermatitis and burns — wet mortar has a pH of 12-13 and causes skin irritation, chemical burns, and allergic contact dermatitis
- Silica dust from cutting bricks, blocks, and stone with disc cutters and saws
- Working at height from scaffolding — external brickwork involves sustained work at progressively increasing heights
- Falling objects — bricks, blocks, and tools dropped from scaffolding onto workers below
- Musculoskeletal disorders from repetitive bending, lifting, and overhead work

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a bricklayer?
- Yes. Bricklaying involves constant manual handling, cement exposure, working at height, and silica dust from cutting. These are all significant hazards under CDM 2015. Principal contractors will require your RAMS before you start on site, and they should be specific to the job — not a generic template that does not mention the actual materials and methods you are using.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for bricklaying work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'external brickwork to a new-build detached house, scaffold access' — and the AI generates RAMS covering manual handling, cement dermatitis, silica dust from cutting, working at height, and falling object protection.
- Does The Site Book cover manual handling and cement exposure?
- Yes. The Site Book generates RAMS that specifically address the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 for bricklaying — including task rotation, mechanical aids, and weight limits. It also covers cement exposure under COSHH, including chrome VI sensitisation, barrier cream, glove requirements, and the importance of washing before breaks.
Why The Site Book
- UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions (readable and acknowledgeable in 9 worker languages on Business, with the language audit-recorded) + worker sign-off, including optional 4-digit shared-link PIN evidence on Business, plus site attendance, portal users, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions.
- Generate a site-specific RAMS first draft from a natural-language brief in under five minutes, ready for competent-person review - not a template library you hand-fill.
- Controlled document workflow without an enterprise contract: version history and a recorded issue confirmation before a document is shared with a client or downloaded in the app on every plan, re-sign on revision with superseded signatures preserved plus PCPP import, cert tracking and document checking from the £39/month Pro plan - and on Business, optional named-approver routing (a designated approver accepts or rejects each version, with recorded reasons, before it can be issued) plus client approve/reject/request-changes via share links.
- Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 10 management logins and 50 active site portal users. Worker document signing has no per-signature charge; project workers count as active portal users while assigned.
- Build RAMS for any trade - add your own work types and method statements alongside the built-in library, reusable across projects, including a ready-made Commercial Solar PV group. Save a finished job as a reusable project template, or clone it, so the next job of the same shape starts from your own setup.
- COSHH goes deep: a standalone COSHH assessment document, upload-a-Safety-Data-Sheet extraction, a site-specific substance register and an expert-reviewed library - plus per-worker RAMS sign-off and a one-click Audit Pack covering documents, sign-offs, worker evidence, attendance, incidents, COSHH, permits and up to the latest 500 live Site Diary entries.
