Record equipment checks, observed defects and disposition before work starts.

Replace general checks with the equipment's approved procedure. Incomplete checks and defects should trigger the site's review process, not an automatic pass.

The form separates equipment asset number, equipment type, operator name, inspection date into labeled questions. Review the choices and required fields for your organization before sharing it.
