How to Record PMI Inspections with Photo Evidence

Photos should support the story

Photographs work best when they explain the issue clearly. That means taking the image at the right angle, capturing the wider context and adding it to the correct worksheet straight away.

This is especially useful for truck and trailer PMIs where transport teams may review the record later without speaking to the technician.

Best practice on site

  • Capture overview and close-up images
  • Photograph PMI sheets cleanly and square-on
  • Match each image to the right worksheet before leaving the job
  • Use notes that explain whether the issue was monitored, repaired or recommended

Result

Clear PMI evidence helps maintenance history, compliance reviews and customer communication all at the same time.
