The Checklist
The ten-page, three-part bound NCR checklist leads the inspector in
sequence through an entire inspection.
New inspectors just starting out can relax and feel confident that all
pertinent items are covered. And, the veteran
inspector can perform his inspections with the same consistency and
quality every time.
In addition to the page topics below an inspection contract
is included. The 3-part NCR report *snaps* apart, giving you
a copy for your client, and a copy for your files. there is also an
"eyes only" note page for the inspector to document pertinent info, and
the front cover has space for notes. When the inspection is finished,
complete the tab and file the checklist in its jacket. The two-color
format highlights, simplifies, and gives the report a classy look.
