Document workflows

Documents rarely stand alone — a permit follows a risk assessment, an inspection feeds a register, an incident triggers a report and an investigation. Each page maps a document workflow: what is typically required before, used alongside and completed after. Informational only — not legal advice and not a required process; employers remain responsible for which documents are required and for compliance.

Overview

What this covers

  • How workplace documents typically connect in a process.
  • What is generally required before, used with and completed after a document.
  • How forms, checklists, permits, inspections and registers fit together.
  • Educational only — not a mandated process; employers remain responsible.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this the required document process for my workplace?

No. These are general, educational maps of how documents commonly connect — not a mandated or jurisdiction-specific process. The documents and sequence you actually need depend on your obligations, risk assessment and the applicable law.

Does following a workflow here make me compliant?

No. A workflow illustrates how documents relate; it does not guarantee compliance or replace your legal obligations. Confirm requirements with the official authority and a qualified professional.

Who decides which documents are required?

The employer, based on the task, the risk assessment and the applicable law. These pages help you understand relationships; they do not determine your legal requirements.
