Use the list as a packing reminder and adapt it to the operator’s requirements, your training and the equipment you actually use. Mark a reminder as not applicable where appropriate.

Reminder statuses record your notes, not a safety assessment. Verify current details with the responsible provider.

How to use your worksheet

  1. Record your own information and use “to review” for unresolved reminders.
  2. Confirm details with the responsible provider. A filled-in form does not verify the information.
  3. Save an editable backup before starting another entry. Use text or print/PDF for a readable copy when away from reception.
