5.4. COMPILING SAFEWORKING FORMS

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.
