Conference Sessions I Swear I Looked! Documenting Unable to Locate Equipment

• Defining an Unable to Perform strategy
• Effectively documenting attempts to locate and perform an inspection
• Recommendation for placing equipment back in service when it is found

What do you do when you can’t find an asset? Being unable to track down equipment when it is due for inspection is a headache for HTM departments, but it doesn’t always have to mean being out of compliance. Having a thorough documentation process and a plan in place for Unable to Locate assets is a valuable practice, both for keeping departmental operations organized and for reporting when a surveyor comes knocking.

Attendees will leave this session with guidance on designing a policy around missing assets, properly documenting attempts to find and perform inspection, testing and maintenance, and removing assets from the inventory or adding it back when found.
