One of my biggest pet peeves (besides not having a nice digital camera ready to hand) is the technician that won't complete the re-inspection date on the tag properly. He'll fill out the month and the year, but not the day. I can't imagine what might be going through his head as he does this. I can only surmise that it must be some "directive" from a "higher power" (read paycheque writer).

Here are a few examples of what I mean:

ASTTBC requires that all tags on fire protection equipment be properly completed. This means that the date for re-inspection must be clearly identified and this includes the DAY of the inspection, ladies & gentlemen! You can read more about how the tag should be completed HERE!
