A field checklist works best when it is short, repeatable, and tied to evidence. The point is to make the inspection path easy to follow and hard to misread.
- Confirm alarms are clear and trending is active.
- Check supply and return conditions against the target envelope.
- Verify pumps, strainers, filters, and valves are in the expected state.
- Validate water quality and leak detection before closing the visit.
This kind of checklist is especially useful when several teams share the same plant. It creates a common operating language and reduces the chance that a small deviation gets interpreted differently by different shifts.
