What must the documentation contain?

The documents you have to draw up must cover the following subjects:

1. the results of your risk assessment (hazards found),
2. the stipulated occupational safety and health measures,
3. the result of the check of the implementation and effectiveness of the measures taken.

The nature of the documentation is not laid down in the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

It makes sense to document the overall concept of the risk assessment. You can thus also supplement, for example, on-site inspection records, survey sheets, measuring records, instruction materials or legal references on which the documentation is based.

The documentation is normally a written document. If you use the electronic forms of documentation, it must be ensured that the documents are available at all times and are protected to prevent unauthorised modifications.
