Anyone know if there are legal timescales that documentation such as Access To Work / Permit To Work forms need to be kept for or is it descretionary?

There aren't any legal requirements as far as I know but we keep them for 3 years in line with the record keeping requirements of RIDDOR

I started a thread on archiving H&S documents on 04 June 2003. If you search for this you may find some interesting responses.

To protect you longer term, I am familiar with a clear policy that all safety related documentation should be kept for the life of the undertaking or part of it concerned. If asbestos was involved (or some other substance not so obvious) then every piece of paper involved with managing the work surrounding the alleged incident or incidents, may be very useful in substantiating your safe system of work. I have know cases for plaintiffs go on for much longer than 3 years so that would hardly be long enough. Best keep it all in a managed archive for peace of mind! Regards, George
