EV Charge Point – Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS)
As the Green Revolution gains momentum we are starting to see more and more Electric Vehicle or EV Charging Points being installed around the country. They are being installed by homeowners, business owners, hotels, service stations, local authorities, housing associations, accommodation providers, schools, car showrooms and all sorts of other organisations from delivery companies to educational establishments, it seems that everyone wants an EV Charge Point installed.
This has resulted in builders; contractors and electrical engineers all being targeted to assist with the installation of these charge points, be it the ground works to bring the power cables to the EV charge point or for the installation of the foundations for the EV Charge Point; or for the installation of the physical charging point be it wall mounted or a stand alone charging post; then we have electrical installation and commissioning of the EV Charge Point and the reinstatement of the grounds at the end of the installation to make sure everything looks perfect before the arrival of the first electric vehicles.
More and more companies are starting to price these works and to be considered, part of the evaluation process either pre or post submission of your costs centers around how the works are managed and implemented and specifically what details you include in your RAMS.
Multiple trades are usually involved and potentially high voltage installations are being dealt with, so how you manage health and safety is important, particularly when dealing with commercial clients.
