Right to work check.
Why you need it on the job
The check only protects you if it was done correctly and recorded before the person started work. This record captures the route used, the date and the evidence, which is exactly what a civil penalty defence rests on.
How it links to the standards
Where this template names protective equipment or a control measure, the equipment itself is governed by a published standard that defines what it must withstand and how it is tested. The full EN standards library covers each one in plain language so you can confirm you are specifying the right level of protection.
Frequently asked questions
When must the check be done?
Before the person starts work, not afterwards. A retrospective check gives no statutory excuse.
Do checks need repeating?
Yes, for anyone with time-limited permission. The record carries the expiry date so the follow-up check is not missed.
