When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record 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 record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form DRILL-2026-000
- You are running the Emergency Preparedness programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links erp, substance
Not for
- Emergency Response Plan, which sets out what happens in a fire, medical emergency, spill, power failure or evacuation, including who does what.
- Evacuation Drill Record, which records a practice evacuation, including clearance time, headcount and anything that went wrong.
- Fire Drill Record, which records a fire specific drill, including alarm activation, route use and warden performance.
- Anything outside KnowSafe, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
