What the Checklist Helps You Review
When an auditor arrives or an incident occurs, five specific categories of operational evidence face immediate scrutiny:
Maintenance & Service Records
Preventive maintenance history, job cards, service records and complete equipment asset histories.
Inspection & Safety Records
Inspection checklists, pre-use checks, safety documentation and statutory equipment registers.
Calibration & Certification Records
Calibration certificates, technical certifications and expiry-sensitive instrument calibration records.
Operator Competency & Training Records
Licences, site inductions, training registers, operator competency files and related qualifications.
Contractor & Third-Party Records
Contractor compliance files, statutory appointments, certifications, insurance policies and vendor records.
Five simple tests. One clearer picture of your readiness.
For every critical operational file, the checklist evaluates five foundational governance controls:
Can you find it quickly?
Is it current and complete?
Who has access?
Is there a clear audit trail?
Is expiry or renewal tracked?
Use these questions to identify where documentation gaps are most likely to emerge before external auditors, regulators or safety inspectors uncover them.
