Effective compliance to the Standard starts with a robust document management system. Controlled documents ensure that the requirements of the Standard are implemented into on-site systems. And, as we’re in the digital age, ensuring that digital documents are authorised, secure and backed-up against loss is essential.
If it’s not written down, it never happened! Records are the proof that we’ve met the Standard, they provide us with due diligence defence and auditing evidence. Which is why this section of the Standard is fundamental to a successful compliance system.
This pack is small but really mighty. The procedure steps you through the document life cycle, from inception, document referencing, development, review to approval. It gives you a great foundation to build your management system on.
