Plant and equipment register.
Why you need it on the job
Five separate registers is how equipment falls through the gaps: the ladder gets logged but the harness does not, and nobody notices until an inspector asks. One workbook with one review date keeps the whole inventory visible.
How it links to the standards
The equipment and controls this template asks you to record are governed by published standards that define what each item must withstand and how it is tested. These are the ones that apply most directly:
- ISO 12100 — safety of machinery
The full EN standards library covers every standard referenced across SafetyOrbit.

Frequently asked questions
Why combine them?
Because the review happens once and covers everything, rather than five documents each maintained by a different person.
Does it replace the statutory thorough examination reports?
No. It logs them and tracks when the next one is due, but the examination report itself is issued by the competent examiner.
