When to use this form
Use this template when you need a documented, repeatable yearly review of assets, vehicles, or facilities. Facility managers can confirm fire doors, emergency lighting, and machine guards are in safe working order. Fleet and rental teams can verify forklifts, telehandlers, and JLG lifts meet manufacturer requirements before renewing certifications. Safety leads and auditors get a clean record, while maintenance sees prioritized fixes with due dates. For routine equipment checks between annual reviews, pair it with the Equipment inspection form. For site walk-throughs across the year, the Quarterly facility inspection report form keeps momentum. If your program includes portable ladders, the Ladder inspection form helps you capture rung damage and tag status.
Must Ask Annual Inspection Questions
- What asset or area did you inspect, including ID/serial number and location?
This ties each finding to a specific item, so you can track history and avoid mix-ups. It also speeds follow-ups for the right site or machine.
- Which checklist or standard did you use for this inspection?
Stating the basis (manufacturer manual, OSHA, or internal SOP) makes your ratings consistent across teams. It also helps auditors validate your process.
- What defects or hazards did you find, and how severe are they?
Severity ratings help you triage repairs and plan downtime. Clear notes and photos also protect your team during reviews.
- What corrective actions are required, who owns them, and what is the due date?
Owner and deadline fields create accountability and keep work moving. If you plan follow-up verification, log it in an Audit form to close the loop.
- Is the item safe to remain in service, or must it be removed until repaired and re-inspected?
A clear pass/fail decision reduces uncertainty and risk. Defining reinspection criteria prevents accidental use before the fix is verified.
