Presentation on Record..

I have found a video on keeping good records and the importance in keeping records in the work place. It is an OH&S video called “Stop chasing your tail” [1] which is based on safety in a construction site but it relates to our discussion today on the topic record.

With the help of my group members they were able to help me cut the important scenes that we needed that were relevant we created our own simple video for you guys to view.
This 3 minuet video helps you understand what happens if you don’t have records in the workplace and what could happen if it goes to court; it also shows that if you communication and collaboration of coworkers it can help prevent problems in the future. Also this video shows how workers are using job diaries and writing everything down as they go day to day and they are also getting it signed off.

This video shows how coworkers are communicating with one another and how they learned to keep records in the simplest way by compromising with one another and that’s what working together is all about. If you have everything documented, if it reaches the court you will be protected financially and reputation too.

Therefore it is important to keep records from day one, so as we document properly we are able to deliver exactly what is expected of us, record everything, don’t be afraid to write everything down its all a matter of getting it out of your head and into paper, if it was a situation where you have a client you hand back the record to the him/her in a contract form so the client can sign it. How are you going to protect your financial benefits, how are you going to get the client to pay off what you’ve done? You have to have a record. Write the minuets in the clients need brief, send a contract that client signs and keep one with your signature. Everything has to be clearly documented, from what the client has stated from day one. Also writing records before you meet with your group or the client is important because it clarifies things and be able to clearly communicate and agree with the group or client.

For our group project we have been keeping records from day one on what has to be done and we have been communication with one another on face to face meetings as well as emails which we always send to everyone so everyone has a record. In a situation where we are in a class and we are working in groups, we take records and confirm it in emails and they sent back what we agreed to do or disagreed before we commence doing any work we commutate with one another as we would if we were in the workforce.




So how did we select what elements to place on records? The elements we choose to go on record are things like our set time frame and planning. Also any changes we have made throughout our fabrication while modeling our building we chose which is the Wombarra house also we have documented what has changed in our progress like all the problems we were having while putting the max file into UT3.

I think the things that we have left out was a record on our progression weekly or fortnightly such as record dates and descriptions of work and who took the minuets on that day or who produced that work. We have not documented what we have contributed to the project in written form nor signed off on what we have submitted or produced weekly; in terms of the inbuilt project and for our presentations. We also found that we didn’t need our recorded history of our conversations on msn, even though it’s a good chat site we found that not everyone was on at the same time and other group members didn’t particularly like using it, so we decided that we could benefit from out recorded emails and note taking during meetings.
