How to issue a new revision of a safety document and why must the crew sign again
How to issue a new revision of a safety document and why must the crew sign again. A step-by-step walkthrough of the screens, buttons and fields involved.
The steps, written out
- Open the document and press New revision.
- Edit the Content or Replace file, check Revision, Effective date and Expiry date, and write What changed (required).
- Press Issue new revision. If nothing changed you get "Nothing changed — edit the text or attach a new file to issue a revision".
Tip
The previous version is kept in the Revisions tab. Everyone who signed an earlier revision (and, for job documents, crew who worked the job in the last 30 days) is listed as needing to re-sign, shown as "Needs re-signing" in the acknowledgements, and Crew and Foremen are notified. The list shows how many sign-offs are pending.
