Starting Checks
Before you start your Check you may get a Red or a Yellow triangle with possible photos and further notes
A Red Triangle means a defect has been reported previously but not been dealt with by a Supervisor/Manager
You will see the details of the active defect and a photo if one has been taken.
If it is safety critical you must STOP and seek advise
if it is obvious it is NOT safety critical and your policy is to carry on with the check then do so YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPEAT the defect and when you get to the relevant question the information that you saw at the beginning will be repeated so you have assurance that the defect is already active and again the is NO NEED TO REPEAT THE DEFECT – UNLESS THE ISSUE HAS GOT WORSE THEN YOU MUST REPEAT IT AND ADD THE WORDS “got worse than originally reported”
Yellow Triangle (Serviceable)
A Yellow Triangle means a defect has been reported previously and has been temporarily dealt with by a Supervisor/Manager etc
You will see the details of the active defect as a Serviceable and a photo if one has been taken, along with notes on what action has been taken and guidance as to what you need to do if applicable.
You do not need to repeat the defect and when you get to the relevant question the information that you saw at the beginning will be repeated, so you have assurance that the defect is already active and being dealt with.
No need to repeat the defect - unless the issue has gotten worse. If this is the case, repeat the defect with the following words “got worse than originally reported”
