Why is consistency important in processes?
It ensures reliable and repeatable results.
Why is proper lighting important in a facility inspection?
It ensures visibility, safety, and accuracy of work.
What should you look for when inspecting fire extinguishers?
Pressure level, expiration date, visible damage, and accessibility.
Why is lubrication important in equipment inspection?

A departure from the standard procedure.
What risks are associated with poor ventilation?
Health issues, buildup of fumes, and reduced air quality.
How should you document and report a critical safety violation?
Record details immediately, take evidence (photos), report to management, and escalate according to safety procedures.
How do you perform a full preventive maintenance inspection?
Follow a checklist, inspect all components, test operation, clean, lubricate, and document findings.
How do you conduct a root cause analysis after finding defects?
Identify the issue, analyse causes (e.g., 5 Whys), implement corrective actions, and monitor improvements.
How do you improve a failing process after inspection findings?
Analyze causes, update procedures, train staff, and monitor performance.
How do you assess overall facility compliance with regulations?
