For responsible persons
Duty holders need to know what is due, what has been inspected, what defects exist and what action has been taken. The best inspection process makes those answers easy to find.
The duty holder should keep a clear register of relevant assets, tasks, pressure systems, substances or access requirements. Informal equipment descriptions are a common source of missed inspections.
Due-date control is one of the simplest ways to reduce compliance risk. A forward plan should show what is due in the next 30, 60 and 90 days.
Equipment moves, process changes, new chemicals, repairs, new tenants or building works can all change the inspection requirement.
Direct answers

Yes. Site visits can include practical checks against asset lists, due dates and existing report records.
