Inspections must be made on foot or on equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, turnouts and railway crossings must be inspected on foot.

The identification of the track inspected, the location and nature of any anomalies, the corrective measures taken, the date of inspection and the name of the person who carried out the inspection must all be recorded in an inspection register and kept on the site by the operator for at least 2 years from the date of inspection.
