When publishing an assessment, you have an option to Include SOS (Sign Off Sheet). If you switch this option on prior to publishing your assessment, you will notice that your published assessment contains an extra page at the end that looks like the one below:
Before publishing the assessment, you also have the option to also include:
Matrix Explanation - If a new hazard has been identified, users can use the matrix explanation to help determine and update the information on the SOS for the new hazard.
Task Specific Hazard Evaluation – If a new hazard has been identified after an assessment has been published, it can be added to a printed copy of the assessment. This section allows you to record the details of the additional hazard and use the coloured risk matrix to determine the Risk Before and Risk After ratings.
Confirmation – the bottom section of the SOS. This can be used to collect signatures of people that will be performing the task to confirm they have read the contents of the assessment, and that they will carry out the task as outlined within it.
Additional Sign Off Sheets
If you switched on the option to include the sign off sheet, there is an additional option to Include Additional SOS sheets. An additional SOS sheet is simply a A4 sheet containing empty spaces for confirmation signatures - just like the Confirmation section described above.
