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
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form WREP-2026-000
- You are running the Safety Culture and Engagement programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links worker, site
Not for
- Safety Committee Meeting Record, which records the agenda, attendance, discussion and decisions of a joint health and safety committee meeting.
- Committee Action Log, which tracks the actions raised by the committee through to closure.
- Committee Effectiveness Review, which reviews whether the committee is actually improving safety, looking at attendance, action closure and worker awareness.
- Anything outside KnowSafe, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
