Built for EPC Assessors
RAMS, CPP & Site Documents for EPC Assessors
EPC assessments take you into occupied and unoccupied properties, loft spaces, boiler cupboards, and sometimes commercial buildings under construction. Your RAMS need to cover lone working, loft access, and site hazards.

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks epc assessors face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Lone working — most domestic assessments are carried out alone in unfamiliar properties, including vacant and sometimes derelict buildings
- Loft access — inspecting loft insulation depth requires climbing into loft spaces via pull-down ladders, with risk of falls and ceiling collapse
- Slips, trips, and falls — cluttered, unfamiliar properties and construction sites present trip hazards, especially in poor lighting
- Asbestos exposure — older properties may contain asbestos in boiler flues, insulation, or textured coatings that assessors must identify and avoid disturbing
- Biological hazards — vacant properties may contain mould, rodent droppings, pigeon guano, or needles
- Construction site hazards — new-build assessments expose assessors to active site risks including falling objects, open excavations, and moving plant
Key Regulations & Standards
Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 and Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)
EPC assessors must be accredited through an approved scheme (Elmhurst, Stroma, ECMK, etc.) and hold a valid Level 3 or Level 4 Domestic/Non-Domestic Energy Assessment qualification. Assessments must comply with the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 and the SAP/SBEM calculation methodology. When working on construction sites, assessors are treated as contractors under CDM 2015 and must comply with site rules, inductions, and PPE requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do EPC assessors need RAMS?
- It depends on the context. For routine domestic assessments, RAMS are not always required but are good practice — especially for lone working procedures. However, if you are assessing a property on an active construction site, the principal contractor will require your RAMS before allowing you on site. Commercial assessments in large buildings may also require RAMS for plant room and rooftop access.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for EPC assessment work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'domestic EPC assessment in a 1970s mid-terrace, including loft inspection' — and the AI generates RAMS covering lone working, loft access, asbestos awareness, and property-specific hazards.
- Why would an EPC assessor need a Construction Phase Plan?
- If you are carrying out assessments on new-build sites as part of the handover process, you are working on a construction site under CDM 2015. Some principal contractors require all visitors — including assessors — to demonstrate their own safety management. A lightweight CPP from The Site Book shows you take safety seriously and meets site access requirements.
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.
