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:
The sign off sheet has two uses:
Task Specific Hazard Evaluation – the top section of the SOS. If a new hazard has been identified, this can be added to a printed published assessment in this section of the SOS. You can add the parameters of an additional hazards identified, and use the coloured matrix for reference to add the Risk Before & 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.
