First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.
Common gaps auditors find
- Critical equipment in basements or beneath water services with no mitigation
- Hazard assessment done at build and never revisited
- Placement decided by available space rather than risk
