How this duty should sit

These notes describe how the duty can sit on a digital record. This page is a guide to a UK duty. It is not a screen in EHSync Safety.

  • The inventory is the one the site is using, not a list from mobilisation.
  • Searchable. You are not flicking through a folder when someone asks.
