Posted By Andrew Powell My posistion is still "new" to the company and therefore I still need to implement some procedures which many H&S colleagues already have in place. One such procedure is involving H&S staff in planned changes to plant or site etc, particularly from Maintenance department. To this end I have to write out a simple proforma that would be raised by the engineering manager before process changes are tendered. All parties necessary would add their comments and sign the proforma before the work goes ahead. I feel that this would help to ensure that all plant was safe, necessary measures taken etc. My request.. Does anyone have a similar document or suggested layout that they would not mind sharing? I do not want to appear lazy but just want to save time and possible arguments against the idea by using a document that already works for someone. Hope you can help Regards Andrew

Posted By Phil Kinvig I've recently had to revisit our paperwork concerned with plant or process modification as it had become so cumbersome it was preventing things happening. We are now down to a single sheet circulated by email with a 36 hour "reply or your agreement is assumed" clause. It really is very basic but if you drop me your email address I'll happily let you have a copy.
