GUIDE TO COMPANY JOURNAL Flashcards by Timothy Walter

HOW LONG SHALL OLD COMPANY JOURNALS BE RETAINED FOR?

20 YEARS

1.
The company journal records chronologically the day-to-day events of a unit. In it are
entered vital particulars of alarms, accidents, deaths, injuries, other matters requiring an entry for proper record keeping. As such, it forms an official enduring record to be retained for 20 years. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all members to exercise the utmost care in the maintenance, use and preservation of this journal.
