IV. REPAIR RECORD

All agencies should maintain work records of maintenance performed. If your agency has an existing system for keeping track of maintenance work, then use it to record work to repair the guardrail, record the parts used, when the repair was made, and verify that work was checked for correctness.

If your agency does not have a complete record system, then consider the following suggestions:

• Completed Work Inspection Checklist (provided in Appendix A) is a simple record that the repair was inspected when performed.
• Keep a copy of the Checklist of Materials for Repair worksheet (see appendix A, Item 2) filled in with the parts you actually used. Write in salvaged or reused parts by hand. Sign and date the materials checklist when the repair is complete.
• If a camera is available, then take pictures of the condition before and after the completed repair. Note the location and date of the repair on any printed pictures.
