01 · What is this?

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

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

  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.

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.
