Competent Workers compiling Safeworking forms, Work on Track Authorities and
records must:
complete all required items on the form;
write clearly in permanent ink;
write numbers in numerals, not words, using for example “12” instead of “twelve”;
and
draw a single line through errors, and initial the corrections; or compile a new form if
an error is made.
If Safeworking forms include items that have a checkbox before them, the Competent
Worker must:
tick the box if it applies, and complete the item; or
place a cross in the box if the item does not apply.
If forms include options, text that does not apply must have a single line drawn through
it.
Unless otherwise specified, Safeworking forms and other records must be kept for at
least 90 days.
