Post Audit
-
If there are no deficiencies found and the equipment is deemed safe and operational, attached the appropriate color zip tie and return the equipment to its regular storage location.
-
Any equipment that does not have the appropriate color zip tie will be considered unsafe and/or inoperable until an inspection and functions check is completed and the appropriate zip tie is attached
-
If there is a deficiency or malfunction found that renders the equipment unsafe or inoperable tag it with a red “Do Not Operate” tag and completely remove it from service.
-
Defective equipment should be held in a central location where it cannot be confused as a serviceable piece of equipment, it will remain in this location until it can be properly disposed of.
