When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This review 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 review 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 Vulnerable and Temporary Workers programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links induction, competency matrix
Not for

- New and Expectant Mother Assessment, which assesses the workplace for a worker who is pregnant, has recently given birth or is breastfeeding.
- Language and Literacy Assessment, which assesses whether safety critical information reaches people who do not read the site language fluently.
