Record form for inspections

If you’ve had a visit from a health and safety inspector, or any enforcing authority figure, it’s a good idea to create some notes to help recall the details at a later date.  Use our form for this purpose.

When you need the form

Following a visit you can be sure that the inspector will be writing their own notes and you should do the same. The Record Form for Inspections helps by prompting the key points worth recording.

The form begins with the basic details, such as the date, name of the inspector, job title and organisation, plus the name of the manager or director who hosted the visit. The other sections refer to the detail of the visit asking, for example, which documents and areas of the premises were viewed, what concerns were raised by the inspector and what the learning points were.

 

What’s in the update?

The form now contains two further sections where you can note any costs associated with the visit and a simple action plan so that anything linked to the visit is all recorded in one place.
