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
- 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 loading dock check, driver records
Not for
- Racking Inspection, which checks pallet racking for damage, overload and missing components against the damage classification in use.
- Racking Damage Report, which reports damage found on racking at any time, not only during inspection.
- Loading Dock Safety Check, which checks dock levellers, edge protection, lighting, restraints and pedestrian separation before and during loading.
- Anything outside KnowSafe, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
