Posted By Ron Hunter This is no longer a mandatory format, but the F91 books are still available for use. The Work at Height Regs (Schedules) require 7 day Inspections to be recorded - what better way than to use the old F91A?

Posted By Robert K Lewis If you do use old F91 format books/forms they will not comply with the various schedules for inspection set out in such as the WAH regs. Develop your own based around the old F91 format but extended to include the additional information. Bob

Posted By Kirsty Davies2 Riskybizz, F91 is not required now. In order to fulfil the requirements of Work at Height Regulations 12 & 13 as well as schedule 7, inspections can be recorded by other means ( to ensure the statutory check have been carried out). Kirsty (P.S. can you plz mail me)

Posted By Jay Joshi You could use the HSE format or equivalent. Refer to:- http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/cis47.pdf F91 does not fulfill all the requirements.

Posted By Ron Hunter Having looked again at the old F91A (still widely in use for 7 day scaffold inspections) and compared it with Schedule 7 of WAHR2005, I can't really see where there is a difference?

Posted By Robert K Lewis Ron Main areas are in timimg the report and the fault notification and rectification matters. It is easy enough to create as a word table using the various schedule headings that it reallhy does not need to be a significant problem. I did like some of the guidance in the old registers though!

Posted By Arran Linton - Smith If I recall F91a did not meet the requirements of schedule 8 the Construction, Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations back in 1996 and that was even before the introduction of the Work at Height Regulations. Even HSG 150 published in 2001 does not make any reference to F91! There is no statutory document which replaced this document.

Posted By Ron Hunter Thanks for the response RobertK - I guess I's better start a phased withdrawal of F91s! (I do have an MS Word WAHR05 compliant version ready).

Posted By Ron Hunter A kind soul has provided me with a copy of a booklet GS 0307 "Records of Reports of Inspection" which is in effect an up-to-the-minute WAHR compliant version of the old F91A. It even has the equivalent guidance that RobertK was fond of! It was the booklet format of the old F91s which made them so appealling and I'm delighted to have found this format again. Single page sheets are IMHO too easily 'lost' on Sites. The Booklet is copyright to Enfield Safety Supplies as part of their "Safepak" series and my copy here came from a local safety kit supplier. I have no interest or affiliation with Enfield. Other published documents of this type may be avialable.
