Frequently asked questions

What is a compliance book?

A compliance book is a structured document that records workplace activities, decisions and checks required under safety legislation or business procedures. These books include delivery dockets, site diaries, permit books, fatigue and log book records and inspection logs. The duplicate format provides copies for different parties while creating a permanent record. Compliance books demonstrate that your business follows proper processes, helping you meet legal obligations and protect against disputes or claims.

Are compliance books a legal requirement?

Specific compliance books become legal requirements depending on your work activities and industry. Permit books for hot works, excavation and height work are often mandatory for high risk activities. Visitor registers support emergency evacuation requirements under WHS legislation. Site diaries and meeting records demonstrate due diligence during investigations or disputes. While the law may not mandate a specific book format, it requires you to document certain activities and decisions. Using proper compliance books provides the easiest way to meet these obligations.

 How long should I keep compliance records?

Record retention periods vary by document type and state legislation. Safety records like permits, JSAs and incident reports typically require retention for seven years minimum. Financial records including delivery dockets and dayworks books should be kept for at least five years for tax purposes. Site diaries and project records often need retention until all warranty periods expire and potential claims are resolved. Check with your legal advisor or industry body about specific retention requirements for your business.

Do I need a separate permit for each type of high risk work?

Yes, different high risk activities require separate permits because each involves distinct hazards and controls. Hot works permits address fire risks and require different checks than excavation permits that focus on underground services. Working at heights permits assess fall hazards and rescue plans that do not apply to confined space work. Using the correct permit book ensures you document the specific controls needed for each high risk activity. Some sites use a general high risk work permit, but separate permits provide better hazard control.

What is the difference between a permit book and a checklist?

A permit book authorises high risk work and requires supervisor approval before the task begins. Permits document that someone assessed the hazards, applied controls and gave permission to proceed. Checklists like prestart inspections verify equipment condition but do not require permission to work. Permits typically apply to activities like confined space entry, hot works, excavation or working at heights. Checklists apply to routine tasks like vehicle inspections or equipment checks.
