One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

What this sheet is for

Know who is on the premises at any moment, and be able to take that answer to the assembly point as a single sheet of paper.

Who it is for

Small offices, workshops, building sites, village halls, clubs, schools and any premises without an electronic sign-in system.

How to use it

  1. Print a stack and start a fresh page each day, with the date and the assembly point filled in before anybody arrives.
  2. Sign visitors in on arrival and out on leaving, including the ones everybody knows.
  3. Issue a badge and record its number, then tick it back in — an unreturned badge is the same problem as an unreturned key.
  4. Take the current page with you in an evacuation, and file it at the end of the day.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Why one page a day instead of a bound book?

Because a book left open on a desk shows every previous visitor's name, employer and vehicle registration to whoever signs in next. A loose page can be turned face down between visitors, carried to the assembly point, and filed away at the end of the day.

What are we allowed to record about a visitor, and how long can we keep it?

That differs by country, and in some places by sector, and it changes — so this sheet does not tell you. Check what applies where you are before you decide which columns you use and how long the filed pages are kept; leaving a column blank is always an option.

Does signing in mean somebody has been inducted?

Only if you make it mean that. The briefing column exists so the two are recorded separately: a signature says a person arrived, and a tick in that column says somebody actually told them where the exits are.
