Short answer

Red items are safety issues that need immediate action. Yellow items should be addressed soon. Green items are within tolerance and need no action.

Why a color-coded format

Decision-makers don't have time to read 20-page reports. Color coding makes prioritization obvious.

How to use a report

Address red items first. Schedule yellow items into the next maintenance cycle. Document green items for next year's comparison.

FAQ

Do you provide photos?

Yes — every flagged item is photographed and labeled.
