Customer Questions

Q: What are RAMS?
A: RAMS covers Risk Assessments Method Statements
Q: What is an Authorised Person?
A: An Authorised Person is defined as someone who has been formally authorised in writing to undertake a role.
Q: Is this course correct for me given the documents that we use?
A: The reference documents that we base the course on are publicly available, and provided by Joint Services Publication (JSP), these form the MOD's Safe System of Work (SSoW). A lot of companies use a variation of this SSoW and the supporting documents. MoD or commercial environments (especially where working at height is concerned) require operatives to understand the procedures in place as both are similar but do use very different documents. Please confirm whether you work on an MoD site, or in a commercial environment with your PPL Training Account Manager / a member of the PPL Sales Team prior to completing your booking.
