EQUIPMENT HANDOVER FORM FAQ

How long should equipment handover forms be kept?

Keep the form for the full period that the recipient holds the equipment and for an appropriate retention period after return, disposal or the end of the related agreement. The exact period should follow your legal, tax, insurance, employment and document-retention requirements.

Set a documented retention rule

Your policy should define when retention starts, how long records remain available, who can access them and how they are securely deleted. Apply the same rule to attachments such as photographs, inspection sheets and proof of delivery.

Consider connected obligations

  • Open damage, recovery, disciplinary or legal matters.
