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.
