The behavior of the person meeting and greeting the visitor or guest (organizational cultural) is so much more important. And a comprehensive, multi layered clearance plan representative of the nature of a 'reasonable to expect' emergency (imagine designing the fire evacuation plan for a prison). — Matthew Bennett
un activity: Whenever you are asked to sign in that you have understood the Hazards on site, ask the person at reception what they are. — MichaelWilson
Well the obvious answer is "all of them" :roll:My other favourite is asking what the HSAWA regulations that you must follow when you see this sign. — MichaelWilson
While dismantling our old Covid systems, I looked at going back to the legacy sign in sheet at the front office desk. But I began to wonder why we had one? The old sheet listed 'health and safety reasons' for making everyone sign in.
But it's not needed for fire safety - the wardens make sure the building is clear.
I can't find any other regulation that requires it.
Visitors are visiting someone, and so are supervised.
We induct any contractors on a separate form. — Garth Forsberg
And secondly, why have a sign in sheet for a construction site and make the crew and contractors sign in every day? Visitors to the site should sign in, as part of their induction. But should workers who have been inducted and are there all the time sign in? I've seen some sites that do this, but want to find out if there's a valid reason for the requirement. — Garth Forsberg
But I still haven't seen the need for a sign in sheet for visitors to the office. — Garth Forsberg
