Instructions Log

A list of all instructions issued across every site. Used to track work orders, safety notes, or task-specific requests logged against a site.

Purpose

The Instructions Log provides a permanent record of every instruction created and issued across your company’s sites.

It ensures all site actions are traceable, time-stamped, and linked to the responsible user.

You can use it to:

  • Track work orders or requests from supervisors and clients

  • Record written instructions tied to a specific scaffold or site

  • View who issued the instruction and when it was completed

  • Provide proof of instruction handover for accountability and safety


How the Instructions Log Works

The Instructions Log records general instructions issued across all sites. These instructions may relate to work requests, access notes, safety communication, or client requests.

The system follows this workflow:

  • Instruction is created

    • When a user issues an instruction on a site, it is automatically added to the Instructions Log.

    • Each record shows who issued the instruction, the date, and which site it applies to.

  • Instruction is viewed and actioned

    • Supervisors and site teams can view the full instruction record, including notes and uploaded documents.

    • Once the instruction is actioned or completed, status can be recorded for traceability.

  • Permanent audit record

    • Instructions remain in the log for historical reference.

    • The full log can be exported for operational, safety, or client reporting.

This ensures all site instructions are documented, traceable, and linked to a responsible user, improving communication and compliance on every job site.
