Start with a snapshot
Begin with shop identity, contact details, materials handled, work areas, and the date the binder was last reviewed.
Use evidence sections
Typical sections include exposure control plan draft, task/control table, training, respirators, medical-surveillance checklist, air monitoring, SDS files, maintenance logs, housekeeping, and open questions.
Add missing-record notes
A reviewer should be able to tell what is present and what is missing. Missing-record notes are more useful than pretending the binder is complete.
