We photograph what we can - it does help get the point across much more eff ectively than a written description alone. However, you may want to check with your institution's general counsel. If you are documenting an incident, the photos can be an important component, but if you are documenting non-compliance as part of an internal complianc e inspection, you should have a protocol for what to do with the photos and the reports over time - how long and what to retain. Our protocol is to t oss the inspection records, including photos, after one year or once the ne xt inspection takes place, whichever happens first. Robin Robin M. Izzo, M.S.

The picture is next to a written description of the issue and the applicable OSHA/EPA/NFPA/building code/etc regulation. The report is dist ributed to the plant manager, vice-president, and ceo. Most appreciate the picture since it points to the issue at the time.
