When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This checklist is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this checklist covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Fatigue and Shift Work programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links shutdown plan, workload review
Not for
- Contractor Permit Compliance Check, which checks that a contractor working under permit is doing what the permit says, at the work point.
- Contractor Emergency Drill Participation, which records contractor involvement in an evacuation or emergency drill, including whether they were accounted for.
- Contractor Near Miss Report, which records a near miss involving or observed by a contractor on site.
- Anything outside KnowContractor, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
