Summary
In short
- A site and location register is a register used in General that holds every site, building, area and zone your organisation operates. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.4.3 and forms part of the Master Data and Foundations programme.
- Set up once when the workspace is created, then updated when a location is added, changed or closed. Completed by an administrator.
- The template holds 22 fields across 4 sections.
- ISO 45001 is occupational health and safety management systems. The international standard for managing worker health and safety. Certifiable, and the backbone of most of this library.
- It connects to the rest of the library: referenced by all workspaces.
What it is
What it is
What is a site and location register?
A site and location register is a register used in General that holds every site, building, area and zone your organisation operates. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.4.3 and forms part of the Master Data and Foundations programme.
When is a site and location register completed?
A site and location register is completed once at set up, then whenever an entry is added, changed or retired. Set up once when the workspace is created, then updated when a location is added, changed or closed.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This register 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 register 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 Master Data and Foundations programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: referenced by all workspaces
Not for
- Asset Register, which holds every piece of equipment, machine, vehicle and tool you track.
- Worker Profile, which holds a record for each worker, including role, department, site and start date.
- Job and Task Register, which lists the jobs and tasks people perform, so risk assessments and ergonomic assessments can be tied to real work rather than job titles.
- Anything outside General, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

How many site and location register records should we have?+
This is a singleton. One record per workspace, set up once and maintained, rather than one per event. Other templates refer back to it.
Which programme does the site and location register belong to?+
It is part of Master Data and Foundations. One place for each thing, so a change updates everywhere rather than in eight lists.
Can the site and location register template be changed?+

The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the site and location register library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in General — control tower. The orchestration layer. Registries and engines every other workspace reads from.
