Yes No N/A

Any recent changes, repairs, or abnormal events noted

Document recent maintenance, alarms, shutdowns, leaks, contamination events, or process changes that may affect the inspection.

Compressor and Operating Performance

Compressor starts, runs, and cycles normally critical (required)

Verify the unit starts without unusual delay, runs smoothly, and cycles within expected operating behavior.

Yes No N/A

Operating pressure is within the approved range critical (required)

Measure actual discharge or system pressure and compare it to the approved operating range.

Note (optional)

Unusual noise, vibration, or overheating observed critical (required)

Check for abnormal mechanical noise, excessive vibration, hot surfaces, or signs of overheating.

Yes No N/A

Oil level, lubricant condition, or oil carryover acceptable critical (required)

For lubricated systems, verify lubricant level and condition are within manufacturer limits and there is no visible excessive oil carryover.

Yes No N/A

Belts, guards, couplings, and drive components in good condition critical (required)

Inspect accessible drive components for wear, looseness, missing guards, or damage.

Yes No N/A

Receiver Tank and Pressure Relief Devices

Receiver tank exterior free of corrosion, dents, or visible damage critical (required)

Check the receiver tank shell, welds, supports, and base for corrosion, deformation, leaks, or other visible damage.

Yes No N/A

Pressure relief device present, accessible, and properly tagged critical (required)

Verify a pressure relief device is installed, accessible, and identified per site requirements.

Yes No N/A

Pressure relief device setpoint verified critical (required)

Record the relief device setpoint and confirm it matches the approved system design or manufacturer specification.

Note (optional)

Receiver tank drain functioning and free of blockage critical (required)

Verify manual or automatic drains are operational and removing condensate without blockage, leakage, or excessive accumulation.

Yes No N/A

Tank gauge and fittings readable and intact

Check that pressure gauges, valves, and visible fittings are intact, readable, and not leaking.

Yes No N/A

Air Quality, Filtration, and Contamination Controls

Filters installed and service indicators within acceptable range critical (required)

Verify intake, coalescing, particulate, or dryer filters are installed as required and service indicators do not show end-of-life or bypass conditions.

Yes No N/A

Moisture, oil mist, or particulate contamination observed at point of use critical (required)

Check hoses, outlets, and point-of-use equipment for visible contamination, excessive moisture, or oil carryover.

Yes No N/A

Dryer performance acceptable critical (required)

Verify the air dryer is operating normally and delivering air within the site's required dryness specification.

Yes No N/A

Condensate disposal method controlled and compliant with site procedure

Confirm condensate is collected, treated, or disposed of according to site environmental and maintenance procedures.

Yes No N/A

Safety, Housekeeping, and Compliance

Equipment area clear of obstructions and slip hazards critical (required)

Check that access to compressors, tanks, drains, and valves is unobstructed and that condensate or oil has not created a slip hazard.

Yes No N/A

Warning labels, operating instructions, and pressure markings visible

Verify required labels, pressure markings, and operating instructions are legible and in place.

Yes No N/A

Lockout-tagout isolation points identified critical (required)

Confirm energy isolation points are identified and accessible for maintenance in accordance with OSHA 1910.147.

Yes No N/A

Electrical and mechanical guards in place critical (required)

Check that guards and covers protecting moving or energized parts are installed and secure.

Yes No N/A
