Zektrx RAMS register and evidence workflow preview

Start with the actual electrical task

Electrical RAMS should be specific to the work being completed. Installation, testing, containment, temporary supplies, shutdowns and maintenance visits can all need different controls and evidence.

Common controls to review

  • Isolation and lock-off arrangements.
  • Competence, supervision and permit requirements.
  • Access equipment and work at height controls.
  • Interface with other trades and live areas.
  • Testing, inspection and handover evidence.
  • Emergency arrangements and communication routes.

Keep evidence connected

Evidence can include photos, test records, permits, certificates, inspection notes and signed RAMS acceptance. The value is higher when those records are linked to the job and the exact RAMS version.

Avoid template drift

A reused template can become risky when the job changes but the wording does not. Check that the sequence, controls and work area match the real site before the document is issued.
