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
