9.1.6                   Voice and Data Recording

9.1.6.1              Where appropriate voice recording facilities are available, instead of being recorded as entries in a Log Book, the information mentioned in subsection 9.1.6.1A must be voice recorded in sufficient detail to readily establish for any safety investigation:

(a)         whether and when the position or unit was active or inactive; and

(b)         the identity of each person responsible for any active position at any time.

9.1.6.1A The information that must be voice recorded is:

(a)         the identification of incoming staff taking over responsibility for a position; and

(c)          the information relayed by outgoing staff to incoming staff in accordance with handover and takeover procedures; and

(d)         for non-continuous units — details of opening and closing watch, including the identification of incoming staff taking over responsibility for the unit.

9.1.6.2              When an automatic voice recording facility fails, a manual record of communications must be maintained, to the extent that this is possible.
