Log each inspection
Record the vacuum ID, date, filter check, hose condition, attachment condition, repair notes, and the person who completed the inspection.
Keep proof with the log
Attach receipts, service photos, filter replacement records, and manufacturer instructions where useful. The goal is to show the control was maintained, not just named.
Connect maintenance to tasks
If a vacuum supports cleanup, drilling, or installation work, connect the maintenance record to those task categories so a reviewer can see how controls support the written plan.
