Inspection Reminders
Common-practice frequency baselines for 14 asset types, and a local tracker that flags your equipment as overdue.
Frequencies are self-written summaries of common US practice — states and municipalities can be stricter. Your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and the current codes take precedence.
My tracked equipment
Frequency baselines by asset type
Monthly visual checks are the common federal baseline; annual maintenance also applies — verify with your AHJ
Weekly activation is the common ANSI baseline; water quality and logging vary by jurisdiction

Pre-use visual checks are the baseline; formal inspection is commonly annual — follow common ANSI practice
Periodic visual checks; remove damaged ladders immediately — set cadence by usage
Monthly walkthrough to confirm guards in place; re-check after any modification
Annual testing is common — set by your water authority or municipality
Annual inspection is the baseline in most jurisdictions; state/municipal rules vary widely — always check your AHJ
