General Tips
• Take a copy of:
o your contract,
o your electrical plan
o any documents related to agreed fittings, placements, colours.
• Take packet of extra dots – these are used by many inspections to mark errors
• Be methodical go room by room
• Cut and paste the components of this checklist to a spreadsheet and set up a list for each room so you don’t miss anything.
• Get carbon paper to make a duplicate
• Check your contract and ensure anything listed on there not on this list is included
• Cross off each item as you inspect it and record it on your spreadsheet
• Don’t jump ahead of your SS or go too fast.
• Ensure the Site Supervisor / Manager’s (SS) handwriting is legible
• Make sure ALL of your concerns are noted down on paper and not skipped over.
• Don’t move onto the next room until you are completely satisfied.
• Continue to all your tests and checks even if the SS seems impatient or tells you not everything needs checking.
• Do not accept the excuse that a future fitting will hide a defect.
• If it appears sub-standard to you it probably is, do not accept “that is standard” if it appears wrong to you, insist on having the item noted.
• Take step ladder/ladder to reach light sockets/climb into manhole
• Take a light bulb, small electrical device, a stepladder, straight edge and a torch.
• Take a cloth and some spray cleaner.
• Take a bottle for water.
