10% Checks & Compliance Monitoring

As a Responsible Manager, you must conduct regular 10% checks to ensure ongoing compliance with the 019 standard and maintain high safety standards across all Safe Work Pack activities.

10% checks are a systematic sampling method to:

• Monitor compliance with the 019 standard across all operations
• Identify trends in safety performance and documentation quality
• Ensure consistency in Safe Work Pack implementation
• Detect potential issues before they become systemic problems
• Maintain continuous improvement in safety processes

During 10% checks, review:

• Completed Safe Work Packs for accuracy and completeness
• Safety documentation and required signatures
• Risk assessment quality and mitigation measures
• Compliance with procedures and safety protocols
• Communication records between team members
• Incident reports and corrective actions taken

When conducting a 10% check, you'll need to answer the following compliance questions:

• Was the SWP produced accurate & appropriate?
• Was the SWP produced within the timescales?
• Was the SWP verified prior to implementation?
• Was the SWP authorised prior to implementation?
• All relevant fields completed accurately (including signatures)?
• Was the SWP implemented as planned?
• Were any changes made authorised as required?

Each question can be answered with:

• Yes - Compliant with requirements
• No - Non-compliant, requires action
• N/A - Not applicable to this particular pack
