Without it, other elements in your FOD Prevention Checklist may be misguided, and a waste of valuable time and resources. FOD inspection is the best way to obtain real-time information. It can also play a key role in determining the health of any program.<\/p>\n<p>Random daily or weekly checks of work and operations areas will help ensure compliance to standards, regulations, and procedures. An effective FOD audit checklist documents the date and time of any inspections, the auditor, the shift, the area, and any problems found. Use codes whenever possible. This helps to reduce the auditor\u2019s time, ease data entry, and facilitate and standardize sorting the data for reports.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Download example inspection template:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fodcontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Content\/forms\/TFCC-InspectionAuditChecklist.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FOD Inspection Checklist (.pdf)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fodcontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Content\/forms\/TFCC-InspectionAuditChecklist.xlsx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FOD Inspection Checklist (.xlsx)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-154752579\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"suggested_container\">\n<p class=\"suggested_title\">Suggested Resources<\/p>\n<p>Check out our articles on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fodcontrol.com\/fod-prevention-in-aviation-getting-started\/\">How To Prevent FOD at Your Airport<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fodcontrol.com\/setting-up-a-company-fod-program\/\">How to Set Up a FOD Program<\/a> for more great ideas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-154752579 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-982459016\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_10232817\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fodcontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Content\/forms\/TFCC-InspectionAuditChecklist.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"FOD Inspection Checklist\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fodcontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Content\/forms\/TFCC-InspectionAuditChecklist.png 510w, https:\/\/www.fodcontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Content\/forms\/TFCC-InspectionAuditChecklist-247x222.png 247w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_10232817 {\n  width: 50%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":287,"featured_media":5638,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fod-forms-and-templates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v25.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FOD Inspection Checklist for Audits | FOD Prevention Checklist<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ensure safety with a FOD inspection checklist from FOD Control.
