2. Checklists completed at the time of construction can be valuable legal evidence in case of a dispute.

3. Checklists used in the quality control process are often known as Inspection and Test Plans (ITP's).

4. Safety checklists form an essential part of a safe work method statement and completed checklists can be used as evidence of compliance.
