Carrying out your own inspections and maintenance
If you carry out your own safety inspections and maintenance, you must keep records that include:
•vehicle details
•a list of all items to be inspected
•when and by whom the inspection is carried out
•the result of the inspection
•details of any work carried out
•a declaration that any defects have been properly fixed
