Begin with applicability
List the country and local authority, site activities, workforce and special processes. For each potential obligation, record the official source and the reason it applies or does not apply. Keep an unresolved question visible with an owner. A regulator’s guidance page, a legal requirement and a voluntary standard have different roles; do not label them interchangeably.
Retrieve evidence from ordinary work
Pick one real process and retrieve its current procedure, recent observations, exception decisions and training records. Note the period and site represented by each file. GOV.UK describes food inspections as covering food handling, premises and management systems. A folder of blank templates does not demonstrate how a process was operated.
Record gaps without rebuilding history
Missing records should stay identifiable as missing. Assign investigation and corrective work without backdating observations or replacing original results. A useful evidence index points to a record and its context; it does not claim that the record proves every requirement. Keep access appropriate when records contain staff or incident information.
Close findings through verification
For each finding, distinguish immediate containment from the longer-term change. Add an owner, due date and verification method. Record what was checked before closing the action and revisit recurring findings. Use the obligations register to keep future applicability and source reviews connected to the responsible person.
Start with the records you need.
Open an editable draft in Kivloo. Add your site, methods, limits and responsibilities, then save it to your workspace. Downloads remain free without an account.
Compliance obligations and applicability register
Record which requirements apply to a site, why, who owns them and what evidence needs review.
Inspection evidence retrieval and gap review
Retrieve a real procedure and its records, identify gaps and track inspection follow-up.
Corrective action register
Link a finding to an accountable owner, implementation evidence and a separate verification decision.
Shift handover and open-action record
Transfer open issues, pending checks and review responsibilities between shifts with explicit next owners.

Before you start
- Define the site, inspection scope, period and responsible coordinator.
- Identify applicable authorities and current obligations with unresolved questions assigned.
- Agree access to original procedures, reports, training and corrective-action records.
Procedure
- Select a real process and identify the procedure version in use.
- Retrieve the corresponding observations, exception decisions and training evidence.
- Record each evidence reference, its scope and any gap without altering original records.
- During a review or inspection, record requests and findings factually.
- Assign the immediate response and longer-term corrective work to named owners.
- Verify the result and keep open or disputed findings visible until reviewed by the responsible person.
