When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This assessment 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 assessment 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 Warehouse and Dock Safety programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links delivery point, yard inspection
Not for
- Journey Risk Assessment, which assesses a planned journey for route, weather, hours, load and delivery point hazards.
- Delivery Point Assessment, which assesses a customer or supplier site for access, reversing, unloading and driver welfare.
- Adverse Weather Driving Record, which records the decision to run, delay or cancel journeys in adverse weather, and who made it.
- Anything outside KnowFleet, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
