Record the water-control check
Capture the tool, water source, hose condition, flow check, clogged-nozzle repair, and date. Short logs are easier to maintain than narratives written months later.
Document downtime and exceptions
If a tool was taken out of service or a control did not work as expected, keep the repair note and the action taken. Exceptions are often the records people forget.
Review by task
Group records by cutting, grinding, polishing, drilling, and install work so the binder matches how the shop actually generates dust.
