Spill kit inspection checklist
A monthly and after-use check of each spill kit: location and access, seal and contents against the kit’s inventory card, condition of absorbents and PPE, and a result that restocks the kit or orders what is missing.

Before you use it
- A general checklist. It makes no claim about what any regulation requires: what a spill kit must contain, where kits are placed and how spills are reported come from your site’s spill response plan and the materials you handle. Put each kit’s inventory card in first and check the contents against that card, not against this list.
- Check kits after every use as well as on the schedule. A kit that was opened for a small spill and never restocked passes a glance from across the room and fails when it is needed.
- One record per kit: scan the kit, count what is there, photograph what is missing. A missing item becomes a restock order with an owner, and a kit that is not fit for use is flagged so that the nearest complete kit is known.

In Vardian, readings are checked against their limits as they are entered, and photos and signatures attach to the check itself.
From the sheet to the round
Build a template as a Vardian form, and each line becomes a checkpoint that knows its limit.
Animation: a paper checklist line, compressor discharge pressure with a blank for the reading in bar, becomes a Vardian checkpoint with a limit of 7.0 to 8.5 bar. Scanning the compressor's NFC tag verifies the checkpoint, a reading of 9.1 bar is flagged out of range, and a work order is created from it.
Run this checklist on the round
We'll set it up in Vardian with your checkpoints and limits during a demo.
