Before every practical

Any item that “needs action”: record it, tell the person responsible, and don’t use the space or tool until it’s fixed.
Working principles
- Checks here are visual. Fire, electrical and gas systems are proven sound by a report from a qualified specialist, not by sight.
- If danger is imminent: protect people, isolate the area and call the competent authority before completing the form.
- Record the evidence or report number for each finding, and never share injury photos or detailed plans in public groups.
