Use this checklist to identify any areas of preventative maintenance that have not
been entirely successful. Then reinforce them by revisiting and re-implementing the
relevant section of the FITS process.

If the above characteristics are all true of your school, congratulations on
implementing a successful preventative maintenance process! The next steps for
you are to continue operating the process as described in the
Preventative
Maintenance operations guide and establish the process firmly. Work through this
checklist at regular intervals to help you check that everyone responsible continues
to carry out all aspects of the process. Using the links above, you can then address
any shortfalls as they arise.
