We tend to save h&s related records for an infinite amount of time, however after finally acknowledging that space could be put to better use we are going to put some to archive. Does anyone have a list they'd be prepared to share, which gives specified periods they be kept for? It would be extremely appreciated.

Here's ours from our 18001 manual 4.5.4 Control of Records The organisation shall maintain records as evidence that the requirements of this OH&S management manual have been met. The records will be maintained so that they can be located and referred to easily. These records include but are not limited to: • Management Review Meeting Minutes • Audit / Inspection Report • Non-conformance Reports (and related documentation) • Risk Assessments • OH&S Meeting Minutes • Communication records • Training records Records will be kept for the following periods; • Occupational Health (where applicable) Hard Copy 40 years • Site specific Information Electronic copy 5 Years • Risk assessments (site) Electronic copy 5 years • Risk assessments (Manufacturing) Electronic copy 5 Years • Risk assessments (Noise, HAVS) Electronic copy 10 Years • Inspections / audits Electronic copy 5 years • Policy documents Electronic copy 5 years This ties in with our QA ISO 9001 control of record too. Hope this helps
