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"

In the RAF we used wax crayon (probably still do?) on any plasticky surface. Cleaning requires elbow grease with dry cloth. The wax crayon 'leads' were in a pen-like format, making the pen quite robust, which I have never seen anywhere else, so I guess you would have to use just kids crayons which can get broken quite easily, but are cheap. Does resist moisture very well.

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

When auditing outside I was once told if you use a pencil the paper may get soggy, but does not run like an ink pen. So would a plastic pocket with paper and pencil do the job? Or even a post box to post the notes into (seems to work ok for letters, especially bills). You make it sound as if the notice does not have to remain for any length of time.

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
