Can anyone recommend some wipe clean boards that can be used outside in a damp and slightly greasy atmosphere to pass very basic info from one shift to the next? It is info about a particular activity - like the signs you see about cleaning the loos on an hourly basis. It includes lists of "We need more loo paper soon." or "Can we have some more gloves soon" or "My boots are leaking can I have some Size 43"

Should've done this first! Google 'chinograph marker' and feast your eyes on the selection before you!

Really helpful ideas, thanks to all of you. Most likely to go with pencil and paper option as cost is almost zero! Will also look at the Google suggestion. Think if RAF use it it is probably good enough for me though I worry that the need for elbow grease may be met with lack of enthusiasm. We shall see! I will work through the ideas until I find the one that works best for us all It is actually not a H&S issue but is a transferable point of info. We run a dairy farm and needs must keep the health and well-being of all our calves current as there is a different team am and pm feeding and no direct handover. Did they get colostrum at birth? Did they feed well? How much? Any sign of ill-health: eyes, nose, scour, naval etc? Any treatment given?etc. It is also info I shall use with my Cub pack when we are out in the woods, which is whenever we can be! Thanks again for interesting and informative advice. Liz
