Corrective Action Register Template

Written from experience on CTRL, Crossrail and Network Rail

This corrective action register tracks every action that comes out of accident investigations, near miss reports, site inspections and audits, with an owner, a due date, a status and evidence that it was completed, until it is closed.

What it's for

Actions agreed after an incident or audit are easily forgotten once the urgency passes. A single register shows what is open, what is overdue and who owns it. An action only counts as complete when the evidence is recorded, and that is often the first thing a client auditor or inspector asks to see.

When you need it

From the start of the project, with each new action added as it is raised, whatever its source. Review it weekly at the site meeting.

Who signs it

The project manager signs each weekly review in the review record.

FAQ

What sources feed into it?
Accident investigations, near miss reports, site inspections, client audits and regulatory inspections.
When is an action complete?
Only when the evidence that it has been done is recorded, such as a photo, an updated RAMS or a training record.
How often should it be reviewed?
The template sets a weekly review at the site meeting, with the project manager signing off each review.
What happens to overdue actions?
They are marked overdue in the status column and counted in the weekly review record, so the project manager can follow them up with the owner and agree a new date or escalate.
What is [TO CONFIRM]?
Details only you know, such as names, references and dates. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the register opens with a list of every one. The entry rows are always left blank: we never invent entries, so you record them as the work goes on.
Can I edit the document?
Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
Do I still need to review it?
Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
