Describe the observed sequence without asserting an uninvestigated cause.
Record the immediate response and relevant restrictions under the site procedure.
02Supporting evidence
Separate direct observations from reported statements and interpretations.
Link relevant evidence and its source without unnecessary sensitive details.
Identify missing or uncertain information and the responsible review.
03Investigation and learning
Record the responsible investigation and its supporting conclusions.
Link actions to accountable owners and the intended result.
Record verification, feedback and open issues without treating one closed task as completion of everything.
Close the loop

How to use the downloaded checklist
Open the CSV in your spreadsheet app. Adapt the checks, enter your approved criteria and add any missing site requirements. Use the result, action, owner, due date and verification columns to document follow-up.
Keep the original observation when a check fails. Record the corrective action and verification separately so the full sequence remains clear.
