Does maintenance replace a pressure-system examination?
HSE distinguishes maintenance from examinations under a written scheme for qualifying pressure systems. Identify the applicable system and examination arrangements; a service visit does not fulfil them by itself.

Fill it in on a phone or tablet

Customers and subcontractors do not need the app: send them a link and they can fill it in from any browser.
Every question in the compressor maintenance visit template
A compressed-air maintenance record with compressor and receiver details, isolation, visible checks, operating readings, service work and handback. 6 sections and 46 questions. Follow-up questions and guidance appear only when an answer calls for them, so the person on site never sees the ones that do not apply.
Make it your own: every question is editable
This is a starting point, not a fixed form. Once it is in your SiteSurvey account you can reword any question, add or remove questions, sections and answer options, and add your own logo, so it fits the way your team works and the jobs you do.
