Tips for using it

  • Leave nothing energized unless it needs to be, and mark what stays on.
  • Cover or guard every opening and edge you uncovered during the day.
  • Write down what failed and who will fix it by when. A failed item with no owner often comes back.
  • Edit the list to match your site and your procedures before you use it with a crew.
