What is one common inspection failure that a CDI looks out for?

One common inspection failure that a CDI focuses on is incomplete or improper documentation of maintenance actions. Documentation is vital in ensuring that all maintenance activities are recorded accurately to track the history and condition of equipment. This information is not only essential for compliance with regulations and standards but also provides a reference for future maintenance and inspections. Incomplete or inaccurate documentation can lead to misunderstandings about the maintenance status of equipment, potentially resulting in further issues or failures that could have been prevented. Ensuring that all maintenance actions are documented correctly allows for better tracking of maintenance schedules, identification of recurring issues, and a clear understanding of the equipment’s operational history. This is particularly important in environments where safety and performance are critical, making proper documentation a key focus for CDIs during inspections.
