Managing environmental records efficiently starts with a clear, standardized document naming system. Without a structured approach, finding and organizing critical records can become a time-consuming challenge.

​

Why Consistent Document Naming Matters

​

✅ Easy Searchability – A standardized naming protocol ensures you can quickly locate any document.
 

✅ Reduced Confusion – Clear naming conventions eliminate ambiguity and confusion among team members.
 

✅ Improved Efficiency – Consistent naming saves time and effort when managing and retrieving records.
 

✅ Regulatory Compliance – Adhering to a protocol helps maintain accurate and organized records for audits and inspections.

​

What Should a Recordkeeping Document Naming Protocol Include?

​

✔ Standardized Date Formats – Use a consistent date format for all documents (e.g., YYYY.MM.DD).  

✔ Location Abbreviations – Employ standard location abbreviations (e.g., airport abbreviations).  

✔ Shortened Document Names – Abbreviate document names where possible to maintain conciseness.  

✔ Document Type Indicators – Include a clear indicator of the document type or report.
