Which of the following is NOT a requirement of an inspection policy and procedure?

• A. Areas and Equipment to Inspect
• B. Personnel
• C. Frequency
• D. Documentation

Answer: (D)

Inspection policies and procedures are meant to define how inspections are carried out: what areas or equipment to inspect, who is responsible for performing the inspection, and how often the inspections occur. These elements establish the scope, responsibility, and cadence so inspections are performed consistently and cover the necessary safety concerns. Documentation, while essential for recordkeeping and accountability, is not a required element of the policy itself; the policy can guide that findings are recorded and reported, but the detailed documentation format, storage, and retrieval are typically handled through separate records management or reporting procedures.
