Prepare this
01 · What is this?

A maintenance log records checks, faults and repairs for an item.

02 · When is it useful?

Use it to keep a clear history and plan the next inspection.

03 · Start here

Identify the asset and record only the checks actually carried out.

Gather your pieces

  1. Follow manufacturer, owner and applicable safety instructions; use competent personnel.
  2. Do not operate equipment reported unsafe or attempt repairs beyond your competence.
  3. Check approval, warranty and insurance requirements before commissioning work.

[Review Record]

Record observed facts and uncertainty. This sheet does not approve repairs, certify safety or authorise continued use of faulty equipment.

Your next moves

  1. Arrange a competent inspection for any unresolved fault or safety concern.
  2. Attach service records and approved invoices; update the register without deleting earlier entries.
  3. Set the next check according to the appropriate instructions, rather than an invented universal interval.

Real-world check

Internal log, not a safety certificate, professional inspection or complete tax record. Entries do not establish fitness for use; safety-critical and regulated equipment need the required competent assessment.
