Build your tool calibration register.

How to build your tool calibration register

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Keep tool certificates, review dates and restricted-use flags visible.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the inspector records the tool and how the quality reviewer reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your tool calibration register

• Keep the tool in context

  Keep tool, certificate reference, review date, status source, owner and restricted use flag together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A tool has a certificate but its next review date is missing. Flag the missing data instead of presenting the tool as verified for use.

• Keep restricted use flag visible

  Flag the missing review date rather than treating the certificate as current approval.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the inspector a working view and the quality reviewer a review view. Keep tool and certificate reference attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
