What to verify
Make the template actionable

- Define how completion is documented (checklists + completion notes).
- Assign follow-ups with an owner and due date so issues get resolved.
FAQ
Is this checklist meant to replace a scope of work?
No. This is an inspection tool. Use it alongside a documented scope of work so audits are aligned to what is actually included.
How often should we run inspections?
Many facilities audit weekly or monthly depending on risk and traffic. The best cadence is one your team can execute consistently.
What should we do when something fails an audit?
Log a clear note, assign an owner, set a due date, and recheck. Consistent follow-up is what improves long-term results.
