Property risk assessment

- You can edit or delete added risks and documents if required before finalising.
Biosecurity Plan

Things to note
- All uploaded records can be edited or deleted.
- If you are required to participate in an LPA audit, only the documents you choose to share will be accessed by the auditor.
- If you start an electronic record and only partially complete it, it can be opened from the ‘In Progress Forms’ section and
completed at a future date.
How to keep good records
It’s important to make sure your integrity system records are accurate and up to date. Good records:
- provide the information required to correctly complete your LPA NVDs.
- are essential in the event of a biosecurity or animal disease incident.
- are required for audits.
There is no perfect formula for record keeping. Some producers find keeping clear notes in a diary or record book works well while others use a farm management software program or computer spreadsheet.
ISC has created record keeping templates which include all the details that must be recorded for LPA.
