During inspections, which elements should be identified and monitored?

• A. Who, What, When, and How, and beware of cleanliness
• B. Where and when to use PPE only
• C. Who and what only
• D. What, when, and where are optional

Answer: (A)

During inspections, you need to capture four essential questions—who is responsible, what is being inspected, when the inspection occurs, and how the task is performed—plus keep cleanliness in mind. This combination ensures accountability, clearly defined scope, proper timing, and correct procedures, while cleanliness protects against contamination and helps ensure reliable equipment performance. The other options are too narrow or imply elements can be optional. Focusing only on PPE omits the broader scope of what, when, and how is inspected. Including only who and what misses the timing and method aspects. Saying some elements are optional ignores the need to document all critical factors to run a safe, effective inspection.
