How is this different from a shared drive?

A shared drive stores files; document control proves which revision was in force on a given day, who approved it and who acknowledged it. That chain is what an audit tests, and it cannot be reconstructed from file timestamps after the fact.

Do expiry alerts cover subcontractor certificates?

Yes — third-party certificates, test reports and vendor documents sit in the same register with their own expiry alerts, so a lapsed lifting-gear certificate surfaces before the equipment is used rather than during an audit.

Can we export an audit pack for a specific period?

Yes. The evidence pack export covers a chosen date range and includes documents, approvals, acknowledgements and expiry remediation records in one PDF.

Where do RAMS and method statements live?

RAMS authoring, translation and revision workflows are covered by the dedicated RAMS software page; this module is the controlled register those approved documents are issued and evidenced from.

Document-control evidence for a client or authority audit

Current revision of each controlled document, with superseded versions retained and clearly marked.
Approval record showing who reviewed and who authorised each revision, and when.
Distribution and acknowledgement records proving the people doing the work received the current revision.
Certificate register with issuing authority, issue date, expiry and the alert history before expiry.
Remediation evidence for anything that did expire — what happened, and what stopped work in the meantime.
Legal and regulatory register with applicability notes per scope, and a recorded review date.
Retention evidence: the pack can be reproduced for the required period without reconstruction.

Retention periods and acceptable formats vary by authority, client and contract — confirm yours before relying on this list.
