Chapter 2—ADMINISTRATION, SUPERVISION, AND TRAINING
These checkoff lists will give you a good
understanding of how to prepare for an inspec-
tion as well as how to carry out your daily super-
visory duties. You will find it helpful to obtain
copies of the various inspection checkoff lists

over. They will give detailed information about
what type of inspection you may expect for your
type of ship.
