I too have seen many ways of performing daily checks.. The most effective seem to involve both a good level of training, and then monintoring of the inspection. Even more importantly, the follow through needs to be there. All to often I see the check lists filled out for the last 2 months noting a problem, (the supervisor has been let know) and no one has called for repair or any other follow up. Further, repairs noted needed during routine maintenance are not being performed..
