Industrial visitor log

A visitor log for a plant or warehouse that records the PPE issued, who escorted the visitor and whether they were given a safety briefing.

Industrial visitor log

A visitor log for a single-site plant or warehouse.

What it is for

Auditors, suppliers, customers and job candidates walk onto a site without knowing its hazards. A visitor log that records the PPE handed out, the escort and the briefing keeps that on paper, and gives the muster point a list of the visitors who have signed in. Keeping a visitor log is good practice; it is not a specific legal requirement we can point to for every site.

Who it is for

Reception, the gatehouse or the shipping office at a single-site plant or warehouse, and the person who owns site safety.

How to use it

  1. Keep the log at the visitor entrance, next to the PPE you hand out.
  2. The visitor writes their name, organization and who they are visiting, and the time in.
  3. Whoever issues PPE records it, names the escort, and ticks that the safety briefing was given.
  4. Record the time out when the visitor leaves and the PPE comes back.
