Why plumbers need a proper RAMS

Plumbing combines water-system regulation (WRAS, Water Supply Regulations) with general construction risks (manual handling, working at height, hot works) and specific health hazards (Legionella, asbestos in old pipework lagging). A proper plumbing RAMS references all four streams of legislation. Most generic templates only cover one or two.
