Start Covid19 Site Compliance Audit
-
This checklist should be used by supervisors, foresters and managers to regularly check that appropriate measures are being used on-site to prevent infection from COVID-19.
RAG Ratings and actions
For each question in this checklist, a RAG rating should be applied to indicate the level of risk/ degree of compliance, using the definitions in the table below. Where the answer to a question is “No” (Red), or “Partial” (Amber) this indicates that action is required.
RED - Immediate COVID transmission risk – Not compliant
Immediate actions required. Examples could include no cleaning in place, no distancing, or no hand washing or sanitising in place. AMBER - Potential COVID transmission risk – Partially compliant
Some controls in place, but some minor actions required. Examples could include signage needing improved, hand sanitising provision in place but no hand washing provision, some improvement in cleaning needed. GREEN - No apparent COVID transmission risk – Compliant
No actions required. Evidence of good controls in place.
The overall RAG rating for each section or key control area (e.g. site access & egress) is simply calculated by looking the individual RAG ratings and applying the following:
Red - if there are any answers rated red; Amber - if there are any answers rated amber (and no reds); Green – All answers are green
