Core Workflow
The Safe Work Pack utilisation process follows a structured workflow:
Sequential Workflow Steps
Starting Your Shift - Begin your shift to set the SWP to "In Progress" status
Acceptance on Site - Initial acceptance and briefing processes on the F01
RT9909 - Risk assessment and safety briefing documentation
Completion of Work Sign Off - Final sign-off on the F01 Completion of Work Sign off
Sequential Workflow Required: Each step must be completed in order. You cannot edit subsequent sections until the previous step is completed. For example, you cannot edit the RT9909 until you have completed the "Acceptance on Site".
