Twelve checklist pages open the book, ten points to a page: guards in place, leaks, noise, vibration, temperature, lubrication, fasteners, isolation, housekeeping, labels. The same ten questions, asked the same way, is what turns a walk-round into a record somebody can read back.

Twenty-four day-book pages follow, ruled into four columns: Date, Asset, Finding, Action. A finding written once, against the asset it belongs to, is a finding the next shift can act on instead of repeating.

Twelve pages of notes close it out, college ruled, for whatever a checkbox cannot hold. It does not set your inspection interval or your pass or fail criteria. Those are decided by the equipment owner or the rule that applies to the site, and both vary. The checklist gives you the columns; the numbers stay yours.

What is inside

Checklist: 12pp; Ten fixed points, guards to labels, so two shifts inspect the same asset the same way.
Day book: 24pp; Four columns fixed, so a finding is always tied to the asset and the action taken.
Notes: 12pp; College-ruled, for whatever a checkbox cannot hold.
Reference: 12pp; The last twelve pages hold conversion tables and emergency numbers, both checked twice rather than copied from one place.

The film

Page by page

A vertical film from our own bench — this page contacts nobody's server to play it, and downloads nothing until you press play.

A vertical film, 52 seconds: the cover, the ruling page, then 5 reference pages. Synthesised ambient bed, no dialogue — captions in three languages.

Ten checklist points, checked the same way by whoever is on shift, is the reason to buy this over a plain pad.
