The full question list

The 10 questions in the audit

Every question is answered Yes, No or N/A. Each No is flagged and asks for a photo and a comment, so the finding arrives with its evidence.

  2. 2Priority and equipment are correct
  3. 3Parts and instructions were planned for planned jobs

Doing and closing

  1. 4Work done is described and the cause is recorded
  2. 5Parts used and time spent are recorded
  3. 6The work is signed off by the requester or supervisor
  4. 7The job was closed within the target time

Quality of the repair

  1. 8The repair fixed the problem and did not repeat soon
  2. 9Safety checks (lockout, permits) are recorded where needed
  3. 10Repeat failures are flagged for root cause analysis

When to use it

  • Once a month.
  • An auditor or leader answers each question from what they see, hear and read in the area.
  • Each record starts with: Period audited.

How it is scored

The template is built with points per answer and a pass mark of 80. In this library every audit is set to pass at 80 and every inspection at 90. Each submitted audit shows its score and pass or fail, and every No is flagged with its photo and comment.

Change the points or the pass mark after you clone it. How rules and scoring work.
