Record keeping format and templates

You can keep your records in any format that suits you. Records of use can be:

  • hand written
  • computer generated
  • kept in record books
  • recorded as part of a quality assurance program.

The only requirement is that the records:

  • contain all the required information
  • are clear and accurate
  • are readily available to an authorised officer on request.

Records may be made by a third party (such as a supervisor or assistant) or through automated data logging, but the chemical user must make sure records are accurate and are kept for the required period.

A good sign that your record keeping system is suitable is if another person can pick up your documentation and get a clear picture of exactly what you did, on any given day, without any assistance.
