Even small jobsites and manufacturing shops are complex. So keeping a daily record of ongoing projects and activities is exceptionally important. Our Log Books make it easy for you to improve your business's organization and productivity. All you have to do is take notes.
What information should be recorded in your log book?
- Date, location, weather.
- Contractor, job name, and number.
- List of all employees at work site
- Work completed.
- Equipment used
- Any special assignments.
- Any issues that arise.
- Any materials purchased.
- Supervisor signature
Why is it important to record this information?
In the event of a dispute with a client or subcontractor, or a work-related injury or accident, credible notes can make all the difference. In most cases, "he with the best records wins." When disputes arise, the thoroughness of job site records is key---no one can argue your point if it is backed up by complete, consistent evidence.
Good records can also help a supervisor figure out where to put energy if productivity is slowing down, deliveries are late, employees are not pulling their own weight, or equipment is failing. By regularly reviewing daily activities in the Log Books, he or she will be able to stay on top of small problems before they become big losses.
