What it is for
A daily check is not an examination; it catches visible and hand-testable faults before the shift starts. A broken wire in a rope, a cracked hook, a leaking hydraulic line, a horn or brake that does not work, an empty extinguisher.
Who does it
The person who will use the equipment on that shift. A form filled in by someone else does not make the user familiar with the equipment — and that familiarity is the real gain.
Why the record matters
An unrecorded check is a check not made. But its real value is not in an inspection: the same fault ticked repeatedly shows the problem is systematic rather than isolated, and changes the maintenance plan.
If a fault is found
The check must have a consequence. When a fault is marked, the equipment comes out of service and is tagged; deciding it "will do" is maintenance's call, not the shift supervisor's.
In Optifora
The periodic inspection module keeps the daily checklist attached to the equipment; when a fault is marked it shows the equipment as out of service and opens a maintenance task. A recurring fault is surfaced in the list.
