I've read many threads involving the signing of documents. Most of them, in fact all of them, involve approvals. I agree that there is nothing stipulated that a document must be signed. However, we all know the adage, if it's not documented then it didn't happen. With that in mind, I have a question about RECORDS/FORMS.
If I require an employee to enter information onto a document from a task they've performed, shouldn't I also require that employee to sign/initial that they were the one who made the entry or completed the record/form? I have always required them to sign-off that they completed a task, but if I didn't, would this look unfavorable to an auditor?
The ultimate question is, are records/forms required to be signed to provide objective evidence that a worker performed a task?
