What to know
- Keep the overhead-line planning note and condition record separately attributable.
- Preserve the source, identity and scope exactly as supplied.
- Mark a missing or mismatched reference as unresolved.
A plant handover record may be accompanied by a line-owner document or a planning note. Keep those references outside the condition description, with the author and revision attached. A reviewer should be able to trace a supplied planning statement to the document that made it.
Keep the planning statement with its author
Copy the document title, scope and source without supplying missing technical values. If a line-owner response is only mentioned in conversation, record it as awaiting a copy. This guide gives no clearance distance, work method or restraint specification.
The Great Britain source used for this note is HSE’s Electricity – overhead power lines. Use that source for its own guidance and context. The filing format below is an editorial suggestion for keeping supplied records attributable; it does not reproduce a legal test, technical procedure or operating decision.
A suggested documentation note
- Planning-note reference, author and revision.
- Separate line-owner document or correspondence reference, if supplied.
- Received information and unresolved document request.
A fictional handover file
The fictional file PLANT-O contains a handover photograph and a message saying a line-owner response will follow. The coordinator keeps that response marked outstanding. A later document is linked under its own reference; the photograph does not fill in a missing clearance or planning statement.
The condition record in AuditIt
AuditIt provides equipment checkout-and-return records with two stages, plus single-visit damage and pre-hire starters. They are part of a multi-industry catalog.
Connect the condition record to the supplied overhead-line planning note through a document reference or a separately labeled note. The proposed fields above are editorial suggestions, not a claim that those fields are shipped defaults. The equipment checkout-and-return guide describes the existing condition workflow; explore AuditIt if it fits your process.
AuditIt creates tamper-evident, human-review-ready records. It is not legal certification and does not determine liability. Keep any technical or legal decision attributable to its own evidence and the appropriate reviewer.

Frequently asked questions
What should I record if a line-owner response has only been mentioned?
Attribute the statement and mark the document as awaiting a copy. Keep it distinct from information actually received and opened.
Should a missing technical value be filled from a similar job?
Leave it unresolved in the document note. Preserve the source of any later value or decision rather than importing information from another job.
