When should you check equipment?

Annually
Before each use
Regularly
Only when it malfunctions

The correct answer is: Regularly

Checking equipment regularly is important to make sure that it is maintained in proper working condition and to prevent any potential malfunctions or breakdowns. Checking equipment annually may not be frequent enough, as issues could arise in between annual checks. Similarly, checking equipment only when it malfunctions is not ideal, as it may be too late at that point and could lead to further issues or damage. Checking before each use may also be too frequent and time-consuming, as some equipment may not need to be used regularly. Therefore, regularly checking equipment strikes a balance between ensuring it is functioning properly and not wasting time or resources.
