• Please record the hazard rating using the following criteria for each occurrence:
  24 hour - score 5
  3 day - score 3
  7 day - score 1
  If items from previous inspection have not been closed out in allocated timescale immediately score additional 10 points
  This will give you a total hazard rating for the site.
  Next score the positive observations 1 point for each positive observation during the audit
  Where site demonstrates the implementation of observation cards add up to 4 points to this total - maximum points only if the cards are being used (more than 1 or 2 completed), the cards are being closed out, the site is displaying sorted=reported poster and details are being entered on EZONE
