Electrical RAMS FAQs
Should electrical RAMS include a live working policy?
Yes. State default no-live-work position and the exact circumstances/authorisations required for unavoidable testing.

What documents do main contractors usually ask for?
Competence records, isolation procedure, test forms, and clear method steps for energisation and handover.
