The Inspection Observation Form for Gas Transmission

Inspection, Project, and Construction Information

  • Information for Sections A - U, where the Inspector is to indicate what he/she observed:

    Inspector to Fill out ANY Section Observed.

    Check the box next to the item you observed (You are NOT required to detail more if the observation is GOOD; However, additional notes can be added if the observed item went exceptionally well and is worth noting).

    Do NOT mark "observed" unless YOU observed the item.

    If you DID perform a Find and Fix with the crew, document the Find and Fix AND choose a "Severity Level":

    To document the "Find/Fix", click on the button next to the question, "Do you need to enter a Find, Fix, and Severity Level?".

    For "Severity Level":
    1) Low - can resolve onsite
    2) Medium - resolved onsite but required additional action
    3) High - work had to be stopped
