Free templates for site paperwork
A daywork sheet, a site diary, a daily activity briefing and a labour allocation sheet. Each comes as a PDF to print and fill in by hand, and as an Excel spreadsheet that adds up the totals. Free to download, with no email needed, and with guides to filling them in.
Daywork sheet
Record the labour, plant and materials used on instructed daywork, with a box for the client's representative to sign on the day.
Site diary
A day's record for one area: weather, labour, what was done against the plan, deliveries, visitors, instructions and delays, signed off at the end of the shift.
Daily activity briefing (DABS)
Plan each area's activities, plant, permits and deliveries for the shift, with the toolbox talk, the key risk and a sign-on for everyone briefed.
Labour allocation sheet
Book each person's hours against the day's activities, with totals by person and by activity, so every hour on site is accounted for.
