What to check
- Reconcile the asset inventory with current premises use.
- Review assessments and the recorded duty holders.
- Identify manufacturer requirements and insurer conditions.
- Check inspection documentation against unresolved defects.
Plan the next decision
Create a site compliance register linking duties to assets, accountable people, timing requirements and evidence. Reassess entries when equipment or premises change.
Agree the client authoriser, access arrangements and required result. Safety, security and compliance tasks need competent assessment using information specific to the installation concerned.
Records and follow-up
Connect instructions, observations, completed work and acceptance records. Track remaining recommendations with named owners and dates for action.

Frequently asked questions
Where should I start when identifying inspection duties?
List the building’s systems, equipment and activities, then check the duties that apply to each. Fire safety, work equipment and other systems have different requirements.
Can one annual visit cover every requirement?
Do not assume so. Match the work and timing to each applicable duty, the equipment and the risk assessment; record who is responsible for arranging it.
