Reference document — points to the live equipment master log
This page is the controlled reference for the Calibration & Equipment Maintenance Log system. It describes scope, categories tracked, status indicators and responsibilities.
The live equipment log is maintained operationally by Jason May with administrative support from Leanne Mason at the AMWS office. That live log is the single source of truth for LOLER, PUWER, PAT, calibration and inspection statuses across plant, vehicles, tools and PPE. The Excel snapshot below is a downloadable copy refreshed for audits / SARs; it is not the live record.

How this document is approved
This document is maintained under AMWS's continuous-compliance model. Substantive revisions are reviewed and signed off by the Directors at the standing weekly Director / HSQE compliance call (Sean Ashton, Onyx + Leanne Mason). Currency, cross-references and minor edits are checked at the monthly Onyx site visit. The annual Management Review (September) provides the strategic-level confirmation. Compliance is therefore continuous, not gated on a single annual meeting.
