Complete, mapped and evidence-ready
The quality gate before issue. It checks that the RAMS pack is complete, task-specific, hazard-mapped, compliance-covered and evidence-ready before it goes to the competent person for final approval. Twenty-eight checks on the passive fire stopping pack return twenty-five pass, three advisory and no fails: a conditional approval, with two advisory notes to close before formal issue.

Conditionally approved
The pack under review is the passive fire stopping RAMS for Thornbury House, covering fourteen service-penetration seals across three floors and six FD30 door replacements. All twenty-eight checks were assessed: twenty-five pass, three advisory, no fails. The pack may proceed to competent-person sign-off once the two advisory notes are closed.
All critical checks pass and no fails are identified. Two advisory notes must be resolved and the pack re-confirmed before it is formally issued to the client or relied upon. This QA review does not replace final health and safety approval; issue authority and duty-holder responsibility remain with the client's competent person.
Results by stage
The checklist runs five stages from intake through to approval readiness. Pass, advisory and fail are recorded against each check; the advisory items fall in compliance and evidence.
| Stage | Pass | Advisory | Fail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Intake and scope | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 Task sequence | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| 3 Hazard and control mapping | 6 | 0 | 0 |
| 4 Compliance, COSHH, PPE, permits | 6 | 1 | 0 |
| 5 Evidence and approval readiness | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| Total | 25 | 3 | 0 |
The two notes to close before issue
The three advisory checks (stage 4: one; stage 5: two) have no stated mapping to the two notes below. Both notes are administrative and clear with process, not renegotiation. Neither is a fail, but the pack is not issued until both are resolved and re-checked.
The intumescent sealant and fire-stopping mortar are identified and their controls are in the RAMS body, but the safety data sheets themselves are not yet appended. Obtain both from the manufacturer, attach to the COSHH Index, re-check and re-issue.
The evidence pack lists a photographic record but does not fix the format, naming convention or storage location. Agree this with the client before works commence to avoid disputes at handover, and add it to the evidence pack before issue.
