In earlier additions of 25 you could find an AFSA SAMPLE inspection form in Annex B. Now it merely highlights the different formats that would be acceptable and in B.2 mentions that forms can be found at either the NFSA or AFSA. Both these organisations have great forms but in their need to make a profit they do not offer their forms in editable electronic copy. This of course is not very forward looking as most companies now save their documents on computers and many (like ours) do not use paper at all. Unfortunately, where it was perhaps possible if one of these organisations, or even the NFPA, took the bull by the horns as it were and created a standardized version everyone might adopt, in staying with the paper pads of the past, companies that strive to be on the leading edge have either resorted to creating their own forms electronically or have gone to many of the new companies that have popped up offering inspection software packages that work with handhelds and pc's....now we have a plethora of different formats, and not all are good.... A lot of these packages were created for a wide variety of industries and the formats didn't / don't necessarily transfer over very well, and neither are they created by people who necessarily understand the finer details of OUR industry.
Excuse the run on sentences ... I'm working on those.
Anyways, to the point: what format and form does your firm use?
