Visitor Log Book Template (Free)

Log – Visitor

Everyone who enters gets logged – name, company, purpose, time in and out. It’s security, it’s traceability, and it’s the record you need when something goes wrong and you ask ‘who was on site that day?’

Instructions: Every visitor signs in on arrival and out on departure – no exceptions, including senior management from other sites. Confirm the induction briefing was given. Keep the log at reception; retain per your document control procedure.

Record details

  • Site:
  • Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]

Acceptance criteria

Anything outside these criteria is a deviation – act, record, and tell QA.

  • All visitors signed in and out
  • Induction confirmed for every entry

Notes and corrective action

Contractors sign in here too, and their work permits cross-reference this log. When the log shows someone on site that nobody remembers briefing, fix the reception process – that’s where it broke.
